Runs weren’t easy to come by for de Kock either in the early overs with KKR’s spin-twins Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy finding good control. Having been dismissed cheaply for three innings in a row and the LSG middle order struggling for runs, KL Rahul was doing as he promised, playing anchor. Team coach Andy Flower said at the break, “At the end of the 18th over, we sent a message saying, ‘If you guys are too tired to hit the ball hard, you can retire and we’ll send some of our big hitters in.” De Kock responded by scoring three sixes in the 19th over bowled by Tim Southee, who went for 27 runs in the over. To give a measure of how he picked and chose his big hits, de Kock batted out 15 dot balls in the same innings in which he also smashed 10 sixes and 10 fours. In what was a must-win game for KKR, their bowlers failed to pick a wicket, the LSG openers amassing an IPL record stand for the wicket—210 runs in the 20 overs. With 18 points and a healthy run rate, they look good to even finish in the top two.
