IPL 2024: Will Jacks, Kohli Shock Gujarat, Keep RCB's Playoff Hopes Alive
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cometh the hour, cometh Will Jacks! In a must-win battle, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) thrashed Gujarat Titans by nine wickets with 24 balls to spare in Match 45 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, here on Sunday. And credit for the win goes to English allrounder Will Jacks, whose explosive batting (100 not out off just 41 balls) made it look like a cakewalk for the visitors on a wicket which was looking slow during the first half of the game.
Former India captain Virat Kohli, too, displayed some aggressive cricket to guide his team home as he smashed 70 off 44 balls. The former RCB captain was animated throughout the match as if he was on some mission. Kohli has faced a lot of social media trolls in recent times for his strike rate. But on Sunday, Kohli once again managed to silence his critics.
Even after the match, Virat was quick to share his thoughts with the commentator by saying, “All people who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well talk about these things (numbers). It's just about doing my job...It's about us as cricketers having some self-respect."
