Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) registered a convincing 9-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2024 encounter on Sunday, April 28. Chasing a target of 201, RCB dominated the chase with an unbroken second-wicket partnership of 166 runs between Virat Kohli (70*) and Will Jacks (100*).
Will Jacks the Hero in RCB’s dominant win
Jacks, the young English batsman, stole the show with a breathtaking century. He started cautiously, scoring only 17 runs off his first 17 balls. But then, he exploded, scoring his next 83 runs in just 24 balls to reach his maiden IPL hundred.
Hilarious banter between Jacks and Virat Kohli fills the RCB dressing room
Back in the dressing room after the win, a jubilant atmosphere filled the air. Teammates showered Jacks with congratulations as he entered. A video clip captured a lighthearted exchange between Jacks and the RCB stalwart Virat Kohli.
In a moment of camaraderie, Kohli playfully challenged Jacks, saying, “Next 50 in 10 balls?” This comment refers to Jacks’ incredible transformation from a slow start to a blistering century. Kohli, known for his competitive spirit, was clearly impressed by the young batsman’s power-hitting display.

“He called for two, and when he looked back I was ready for three. And he decided ‘I have got to hit every ball for six now because I am not running every ball’ (laughs),” added Kohli, while talking about Jacks being tired of running hard between the wickets.
