IPL 2026: De Kock's Unbeaten 112 Helps Mumbai Indians Post 195/6 Against PBKS
Indian Premier League: Playing his first match for the Mumbai Indians, Quinton de Kock smashed a brilliant century and shared a 123-run partnership with Naman Dhir (50) as the hosts posted a challenging 195/6 against the Punjab Kings in Match 24 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
De Kock, who was left on the bench for the first four matches of the season as Mumbai decided to got with the younger wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton, made the most of the opportunity to score 112 not out, becoming only the third player to score centuries for three different IPL teams. He joined KL Rahul and Sanju Samson when he reached the three-figure mark in 53 balls on Thursday.
With Rohit Sharma missing the match after failing to fully recover from a hamstring injury he suffered in the previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Mumbai Indians went in with a new opening pair as Quinton de Kock partnered his South African compatriot, Rickelton.
