De Kock was seen drinking water from the bottom side of the bottle at the end of the game. This move left many fans surprised, confused while it also had few cricket fans in splits. The moment was captured by a few eagle-eyed fans and the video soon became viral on social media. 

Chennai Super Kings stumbled to their fifth successive loss of the season having scored just 103 runs on the board. Shivam Dube was the best batter for CSK having scored 31 not out that helped Chennai past the 100 mark. In response, Sunil Narine led the charge with the bat scoring 18-ball four as KKR completed an easy win. 

Quinton de Kock lauds KKR spinners after massive win 

Addressing the media at the end of the game, veteran wicketkeeper and batter Quinton de Kock praised KKR’s spin duo. De Kock lauded the efforts by Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine who picked five wickets from their combined eight overs. While Chakravarthy got two wickets, Narine was the best bowler with figures of 3/13 from his four overs. 

De Kock said “I think the two of them, the big thing that the value that they bring is the amount of variations they bring. Obviously both of them are mystery spinners. So it's always mixing it up. I think it's hard to line up shots against spin bowlers like that because you never know what you're gonna get."

The former South African star also praised Narine for his batting and said “Obviously, Sunny, when he bats, he brings the X factor. I think every bowler knows he's going to come hard. It's just as soon as because he goes, he likes to go from ball one. I'll just place one or two balls, giving the info of what's happening. Initially, it's pretty easy, you know, just trying to get him on strike."
