To note, De Kock was in phenomenal form in the last year’s IPL. Opening the innings alongside skipper KL Rahul, the duo provided several quick starts to their side. The left-handed batter finished third on the most runs list in IPL 2022 behind Rahul and Jos Buttler. The Protea batter amassed 508 runs in 15 innings as he played at a strike rate of almost 150. He also stroked an excellent century against KKR in a record making opening partnership with the LSG skipper.
