"We were confident of chasing 192 because it was gettable on a batting track like this and to achieve that we focused on saving wickets till the end trying to capitalize by accelerating in last overs," De Kock told reporters during the post-match press conference.
Replying to a question, De Kock said after losing two wickets for 50 runs on board, the gameplan of his and Karun Nair's was to keep the scoreboard ticking by hitting into the gaps and getting a few odd-boundaries because it was a good batting track and fast outfield.
De Kock also said he wouldn't rate this century as the best but he thoroughly enjoyed it specially chasing down the target of almost 200-run mark.
"I enjoyed this innings thoroughly. I wouldn't say it is up there, but enjoyed it especially chasing down the total like that," he said.
Asked what was running in the team's mind when Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers stitched 107 runs for second wicket, De Kock said they just hoped one of them throws the wicket away.
He further said,"We always knew they are going to get good start, and we talked about getting at least one of the top four out to pull it back. That is what we talked about and came up with a plan. It worked, if not they would have come on and on and on at you," he said.
