Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock, who made a match-winning 90 in South Africa’s 51-run win over India in the second T20I at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, said he always looks to make it count whenever he finds rhythm.

De Kock set the tone for South Africa, posting 213/4 with clean hitting at the top and dazzling shots hit square of the wicket through the leg-side. His 46-ball 90 was laced with five fours and seven sixes, apart from sharing an 83-run stand with Aiden Markram for the second wicket.

“I don’t know what’s going on; it’s just happening. I guess that’s the thing, when I do get going, I try to make it count. That’s pretty much what it is, literally. Look, I just think it’s because we play each other so many times. We always play on good wickets, especially here back home. That’s literally what it boils down to at the end of the day," said de Kock after getting the Player of the Match award.
