[Watch] Quinton de Kock in full flow with three humongous sixes off four balls in MLC 2023 final

Seatle Orcas (SOR) opening batter Quinton de Kock hammered three massive sixes off debutant Jessy Singh in the 15th over of the innings. The carnage propelled SOR to a sensational finishing kick in the grand finale of the inaugural Major League Cricket (MLC) against MI New York (MI NY) in Dallas on Sunday, July 30.

The left-hander missed out against the same opponent a few days earlier but ensured to cash in when it mattered the most. The 30-year-old was well-set on 65 off 45 deliveries when he put his foot down against the right-arm-medium pacer.

De Kock smashed the opening delivery with his typical swivel swing over the deep square leg region, followed by a fuller delivery receiving a similar treatment.

After a change of angle from the bowler resulted in only two runs off the next delivery, the South African opener moved across the stumps to pick to the pieces a slower delivery and pull it over the fine leg region for another maximum.

Here is a video of the blistering sixes from Quinton de Kock:
