Quinton de Kock is one of the best opening batters that you will find in white-ball cricket. The Southpaw has retired from ODIs and Tests, but he is still active in T20 internationals and will keep playing in the T20 leagues around the world. He is also a consistent performer in the Indian Premier League and has represented four teams in his IPL career.
He has also started the IPL 2024 pretty well and scored a match-winning fifty for Lucknow Super Giants in a match against Punjab Kings. But his next face-off will be against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the coming game. De Kock was part of RCB in 2018, and he would be aware of the playing conditions in Bengaluru, and he has also played against them. So let’s check out his stats against RCB in the IPL.

Quinton de Kock vs RCB Best Knock
De Kock brought up his maiden IPL ton in 2016 while playing for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). It was the 11th game of the tournament in Bengaluru. RCB batted first and scored a big total of 191/5, with Virat Kohli scoring a 48-ball 79. It was a big total, but De Kock started aggressively at the top.

Quinton de Kock vs RCB: What to Expect?
LSG is coming off a win against Punjab Kings in their last game, and De Kock scored a good fifty. But he will be up against RCB, who is unpredictable. Hence, he will look to maintain his good run and give his team another good start. The shorter boundaries in Bengaluru will also help him, for sure.
But he will be up against Mohammed Siraj, who has better numbers against him. Siraj has dismissed him twice in the IPL, and De Kock has only scored 23 runs off 21 balls from Siraj. So that will be a battle to watch up front with the new ball.
