Chasing Gujarat Titans’ imposing total of 200, powered by Sai Sudharsan’s explosive 84 off 49 balls, Royal Challengers Bengaluru began their innings with promise.
Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli laid a sturdy foundation with a 40-run partnership. However, Faf’s early departure shifted the focus to Will Jacks and Kohli, who rose to the occasion brilliantly. Their outstanding 166-run partnership paved the way for victory. Jacks stole the show in the 16th over, smashing four sixes to reach his century and seal the win for RCB.
After a blistering 29-run onslaught in the 15th over, Jacks was determined to finish the job for Bengaluru. With just 23 runs needed off the last five overs, Rashid Khan was summoned to break the partnership. Yet, Jacks had different plans, launching two massive sixes and a boundary off Khan’s bowling.
He continued his onslaught with two more maximums, securing his century and victory for RCB in just 16 overs. Kohli’s embrace spoke volumes about his admiration for Jacks’ stellar batting, which not only ensured the win but also boosted RCB’s net run rate.
