It looked like Quinton de Kock batted on an entirely different surface compared to his peers during the Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clash in Guwahati. Chasing 152, KKR got off to a decent start thanks only to de Kock, who hammered his maiden IPL 2025 fifty in 38 balls. In doing so, he has also equalled MS Dhoni in one of the major feats in IPL history.
What record did de Kock break at RR vs KKR match?
Quinton de Kock came on the back off a poor show in the IPL 2025 opener against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Now, he has hit a timely fifty to take KKR deep in the game against RR. It came on a track that aided spin and RR bowled 10 of the first 13 overs via spinners. Despite this, de Kock stuck to his game and claimed his 24th fifty in his IPL career.
Among wicket-keepers, de Kock now ranks at joint-second in IPL history. Only KL Rahul (27) has more fifties than him in the IPL. The former RCB keeper has joined MS Dhoni on the list. Both Dhoni and de Kock have 24 fifties. However, the South African has two hundreds to his name, something which the CSK icon cannot boast about.
