Quinton de Kock missed a well-deserved hundred in the second T20I between India and South Africa in New Chandigarh on December 11. However, his sensational knock took the Proteas to 213 for 4 in the allotted 20 overs.
The southpaw amassed 90 runs off 46 balls, with the help of 7 sixes and 5 boundaries. His runs came at a strike rate of 195.65. Captain Aiden Markram posted 29 runs, packed with 2 sixes and 1 four.
Reeza Hendricks, the opening batter, disappointed, accumulating 8 runs off 10 deliveries. The young and explosive batter, Dewald Brevis, smashed 1 four and 1 six, but he failed to convert the start into impressive contributions. He was sent back on a score of 14 runs.
The finishing touches were provided by Donovan Ferreira (30 runs off 16 balls) and David Miller (20 off 12 balls). The Men in Blue conceded 22 extras. Varun Chakravarthy, the mystery spinner, took two wickets and conceded just 29 runs from his four overs.
