Mumbai, March 27, 2025 — Former Australian cricketer Shane Watson praised Kolkata Knight Riders’ opener Quinton de Kock for his match-winning knock against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. De Kock’s unbeaten 97 off 61 balls, which included eight fours and six sixes, helped KKR secure an eight-wicket win while chasing 152 in just 17.3 overs.
Watson described De Kock’s performance as “vintage,” highlighting his exceptional pull shot off Jofra Archer as a sign of his fine form. He also noted that such innings strengthen KKR’s batting lineup and boost the team’s confidence for the tournament.
