Quinton de Kock, a famous cricket player, was sold from his old team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, to a new team, Mumbai Indians.
The owner of Mumbai Indians, Aakash Ambani, said that they have been trying to get de Kock for a long time because he and their captain, Rohit Sharma, have a great partnership.
They think de Kock is still a very good player and will help them win more matches.
Even though de Kock has been with Mumbai Indians for five years, they believe he still has a lot to offer.
