This included the 2018 season when he was bought for Rs 2.8 crore by Royal Challengers Bangalore, who traded him to Mumbai Indians the very next season. At MI, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, he turned into a beast with 500-plus runs in back-to-back season.

Opening the innings for MI in 2019, De Kock was the highest run-getter for the team in that season with 529 runs and backed it up with 503 runs the next.
