The Protean batter reached his ton from 53 balls, including seven fours and seven sixes, completing the landmark with a reverse-ramp off Xavier Bartlett. He was featuring in his first match of the season, having returned the starting line-up due to Rohit Sharma’s injury.
This is de Kock’s third century in the IPL, having previously scored one for Delhi Dardevils and one for Lucknow Super Giants.
It is also the second century of the tournament, after Sanju Samson’s ton for Chennai Super Kings against Delhi Capitals.
