England decided to call up Jacks for the one-day international series against Ireland on September 6, 2023. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) presented an intriguing all-rounder named Will Jacks with his first cap during their high-profile encounter against Mumbai on Thursday, April 11 at the Wankhede Stadium. In the 2023 Indian Premier League auction, the franchise purchased the right-handed batting all-rounder. He is a versatile player.
For Rs 3.20 crore, RCB was able to obtain the services of the player after a fierce bidding battle between RR and themselves. In the lead-up to the Indian Premier League, Jacks has been in a stupendous form. Before entering the competition, the youngster had already performed very well in the SA20 and the Bangladesh Premier League where he had struck some blazing hits.
The entrance of Jacks completely alters the dynamic of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team, which has been having a difficult time with the performance of its top order. Jacks produced 245 runs at a strike rate of 180.15, making him one of the most aggressive stroke makers in the SA20. He also had a strike rate of 180.15. On top of that, Jacks has participated in 11 matches for his national side, England, and has scored 181 runs in those 11 matches, with a strike rate of around 150.
De Villiers was alluding to Will Jacks, who has been on fire in the current South African Twenty20. Jacks has scored 165 runs from four innings at a staggering strike rate of 196.43, including a century while playing in the competition. The fact that Jacks has taken five wickets with the ball at an economy rate of little more than six runs per over demonstrates that he is a distinguished all-rounder.
In the Indian Premier League 2023 mini auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) paid INR 3.2 Crore to acquire Jacks. However, the Englishman was unable to participate in the season owing to an injury. Despite this, De Villiers feels that Jacks has the potential to be a game-changer for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League in 2024.
