Lucknow Super Giants’ Quinton de Kock plays a shot during the Indian Premier League match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The 31-year-old reached the mark in his 99th IPL game. His most outstanding score came in 2022 at Navi Mumbai, when he hit an undefeated 140 off 70 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
On the list of the top run scorers in the IPL, De Kock is ranked 23rd overall and is the third South African, behind AB de Villiers (5162 runs) and Faf du Plessis (4179).
De Kock fell 35 runs shy of the elusive 3K milestone at the start of LSG’s third game of the season. Still, he only needed 22 balls to reach that point, hammering two sixes and four fours along the way.
