Quinton de Kock (South Africa) delivered a stellar performance for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings on April 16, scoring 112 runs off 60 balls at Wankhede Stadium. His innings included 8 fours and 7 sixes, helping MI post a total of 195 for 6 after a shaky start at 12 for 2. De Kock's score surpassed Rohit Sharma's previous record for the highest score by an MI batter in the first innings, but he fell just 3 runs short of breaking Sanath Jayasuriya's 18-year-old record of 114 runs set in 2008. This century marked De Kock's ninth triple-digit score in T20s, placing him among the top century scorers in the format. Additionally, he became the first overseas wicketkeeper-batter to reach 3000 IPL runs and the first non-Indian player to score an IPL century for three different teams.
