[Saba Sports News] Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has lavished praise on England’s Will Jacks following his impressive century for Pretoria Capitals against Durban Super Giants in the SA20 2024. Jacks’ explosive 101 runs off 42 balls and two wickets in the match showcased his exceptional talent.
De Villiers highlighted Jacks’ potential for the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Despite his evident skill, Jacks has not yet played for RCB in the prominent tournament. De Villiers expressed surprise at this, noting the excitement among Bengaluru fans and RCB supporters for Jacks to perform. He emphasized Jacks’ capability to contribute significantly to RCB, calling him a “complete package” who can win games both at Chinnaswamy Stadium and elsewhere.
With the 17th edition of the IPL approaching, there’s anticipation about how Jacks will fit into RCB’s lineup for the 2024 season. However, accommodating Jacks in the squad could pose a challenge for Bangalore, given their strong batting lineup that includes Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell. Despite this, Jacks’ recent performances could initiate discussions about his inclusion in the RCB squad, considering his quality as a star all-rounder.
