Quinton de Kock's Six Knocks Over a TV Set in MI Practice — IPL 2026

A pre-match practice session at the Wankhede produced one of IPL 2026's most circulated bystander clips. Quinton de Kock, in middle practice ahead of a Mumbai Indians home game, hit a towering straight six that cleared the practice area and headed for the back wall. A ball boy, repositioning behind the boundary, attempted a leaping catch and instead caught his shoulder against a TV set on a stand, sending the monitor toppling onto the grass. The ball, untouched, rolled away. The TV survived. The clip did not.
