Tue Apr 15 16:00:00 UTC 2025: ## De Kock Dreams of Oman or Andaman, But Focused on KKR IPL Campaign

**Kolkata, India** – Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener Quinton de Kock revealed his ideal mid-IPL break destination would be either Oman or the Andaman Islands, though he currently has no such plans. Speaking ahead of KKR’s match against Punjab Kings, the South African batsman admitted his IPL 2025 campaign hasn’t quite met his expectations, despite a standout 97 not out against Rajasthan Royals.

De Kock, a replacement for Phil Salt, has so far posted scores of 4, 97*, 1, 1, 15, and 23. While his form has been inconsistent, he expressed satisfaction with his integration into the KKR team, stating, “I’m liking being out here with the guys. They’ve accepted me and I fell into my place quickly.” Despite his love for fishing, a frequent pastime, he confirmed that any fishing trips will have to wait until after the tournament concludes.

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals mentor Kevin Pietersen is expected to rejoin the team shortly after a mid-tournament vacation to the Maldives. He missed their recent match against Mumbai Indians. The IPL 2025 continues, with fans able to follow the latest scores, points table, and top performers online.
