IPL 2026: Quinton de Kock scores maiden hundred for Mumbai Indians | IPL 2026

Quinton de Kock completed his maiden IPL hundred for Mumbai Indians as he replaced Rohit Sharma in the IPL 2026 encounter against Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.  The South African opener completed his 3rd IPL ton in just 53 deliveries, hitting 7 fours and 7 sixes on the night to help the hosts recover easily from an early batting collapse on the night.  
Rare feat by de Kock 

 

 

In the broader landscape of T20 cricket, he now sits among elite company in terms of hundreds scored. Chris Gayle leads the chart with 22 centuries, followed by Babar Azam (11) and David Warner (10). Virat Kohli, Rilee Rossouw, and Sahibzada Farhan each have nine, while de Kock has now joined this group with nine T20 hundreds of his own.

 

He has also entered a rare list of players to have scored IPL centuries for three different franchises. Alongside KL Rahul and Sanju Samson, de Kock has achieved hundreds while representing Delhi Daredevils (now DC), Lucknow Super Giants, and Mumbai Indians, highlighting his long-standing impact across multiple teams in the league.
