Watch Quinton de Kock’s bizarre water bottle incident after CSK vs KKR IPL 2025 match

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock was seen drinking water in a peculiar way, by biting off the bottom of a plastic bottle, after their impressive win against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match took place on Friday, April 11, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
