De Kock's Record Ton Masks MI Injury Crisis in PBKS Defeat
Quinton de Kock belted out an unbeaten 112. Still, Punjab Kings made light work of chasing 196, thanks to Prabhsimran Singh's dashing 80 not out.
Mumbai Indians took a 7-wicket hammering from Punjab Kings right there at Wankhede. Quinton de Kock smashed an unbeaten 112 off 60 balls—8 fours, 7 sixes—to drag MI to 195/6. Naman Dhir chipped in with a brisk 50 off 31. Didn't matter. PBKS romped home at 198/3 in 16.3 overs. Prabhsimran Singh blazed 80* off 39. Shreyas Iyer added 66 off 35.
Arshdeep Singh ripped through with 3/22. MI's attack? Leaky tap. De Kock slotted back in as opener—Rohit Sharma's out with that hamstring tweak from the RCB match, where he'd retired hurt on 19 off 13. Hardik Pandya said at the toss Rohit might sit out more. That knock? De Kock's 25th IPL fifty as keeper-batter. Beats MS Dhoni's 24. Now second to KL Rahul.
MI grabbed 21-year-old Punjab seamer Krish Bhagat for base price INR 30 lakh. Replaces injured Atharva Ankolekar—knee problem from Ranji Trophy. PBKS shrugged off their SRH win. MI? Still licking wounds from that 18-run defeat to RCB.
