After playing an explosive and unbeaten knock of 140 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock said that his unique century celebration was out of frustration. A blistering century by Quinton de Kock and an attacking half-century by KL Rahul saw LSG defeat KKR in a nerve-wracking IPL 2022 match by two runs at the Dr DY Patil Stadium here on Wednesday.
Quinton de Kock's uncharacteristic celebration after his blazing hundred against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here. At the post-match press conference on Wednesday, Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) assistant coach Vijay Dahiya cited the possible reason behind the charged-up celebration by the South African opener. "I will speak about Quinton. Sometimes he got runs, sometimes he didn't (in the ongoing IPL). When we practiced, or when he was knocking or taking throw-downs, he was always saying he never felt so good and how come it happened that he wasn't able to score," Dahiya said.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul feels that his team could have ended on the losing side during the thrilling clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. A blistering century by Quinton de Kock and an attacking half-century by KL Rahul saw LSG defeat KKR in a nerve-wracking IPL 2022 match by 2 runs at the Dr DY Patil Stadium here on Wednesday. "I should probably get paid more for games like this. We had missed games like this, in this season. Haven't been many games that have gone down to the last ball, maybe some which went to the last over. Happy to be on the other side. Could easily have been on the losing side and have gone back home thinking we lost due to some poor cricket. Good way to finish the last game of the league season. Credit to both teams to make such a brilliant game of cricket. Can't say we held our nerves better because it was a matter of three runs," said KL Rahul in a post-match presentation.
