Question de Kock ended Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav’s great cameo in the ongoing match 37 of the ICC World Cup 2023 against South Africa. The game between India and the Proteas is taking place at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
On a pitch that has been tough to bat, India batted pretty well as almost every batter contributed. Suryakumar Yadav added handy runs down the order that powered India to a total of over 320. The right-hander played some glorious shots and was looking quite threatening.
But his stay at the crease was cut short by the brilliance of Quinton de Kock on the field. Suryakumar Yadav tried to reverse sweep a delivery from the Tabraiz Shamsi that was tossed up outside off. The batter gloved it and the ball seemed to be landing in no man’s land.
Quinton de Kock moved across and dived in front to take a good catch inches above the ground. His effort surely saved some crucial runs for his team as Suryakumar Yadav batted magnificently well. Here’s the video of his dismissal:
Suryakumar Yadav ended with the knock of 22 runs off 14 balls. Out of 22 runs, 20 runs came from boundaries. Tabraiz Shamsi got the prized scalp and ended with the figures of 1/72.
