IND vs SA: Watch - Quinton de Kock Deploys Quick Hands To Stump Venkatesh Iyer Down The Leg Side

South African wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock showed his excellent keeping skills once again as he pulled off a carbon copy dismissal of Rishabh Pant in the first ODI, but this time, it was Venkatesh Iyer at the receiving end.

Iyer was looking settled at the crease and was intent on rotating the strike with India having lost half their side with nearly ten overs left. He had Shardul Thakur in his company and the duo kept the scoreboard ticking.

However, Andile Phehlukwayo was brought into the attack by Temba Bavuma and he managed to dismiss Iyer immediately. The credit, however, goes to de Kock.

Phehlukwayo dished out a delivery down the leg side and Iyer attempted to flick. He failed to make contact and de Kock was quick to gather the ball and dislodge the bails.

He didn’t seem quite confident initially and neither did the South African fielders. Replays, however, confirmed that Iyer’s foot was in the air momentarily and de Kock took off the bails at the perfect time to effect the stumping.

With Iyer’s wicket, India’s middle-order woes continued as they have lost their way since KL Rahul holed out after the drinks break. Rishabh Pant’s aggressive 85-run knock was the only thing that kept the Indian team afloat.
