Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Will Jacks starred with the bat in the IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, May 6. The right-hander made the most of the opportunities after being dropped twice on 0 and 29. He smashed a six off Sai Kishore to reach his maiden fifty for the five-time champions, his second fifty of the T20 league.
Jacks unlocked the achievement in the 11th over of the innings. Kishore bowled a loopy delivery around off, and the English batter shimmied down the pitch before launching it over the long-off in the stands.
