AB De Villiers urges RCB to find a way to accommodate Will Jacks in starting XI

Jacks has been in brilliant form, but with RCB having quite a few established overseas stars such as Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green, it is difficult to imagine how the Royal Challengers Bangalore will be able to accommodate Jacks.

Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers was delighted with the all-round performance of Will Jacks, who scored a magnificent hundred for the Pretoria Capitals (PC) against the Durban Super Giants (DSG) in SA20 2024 on Thursday, January 18. Jacks, who is part of Indian Premier League (IPL) team Royal Challengers Bangalore, is yet to play a game for RCB. However, De Villiers feels RCB should find a way to include Jacks in their starting XI.

Will Jacks scored an unbeaten 101 off 42 balls to help the Pretoria Capitals register a 17-run victory against Durban Super Giants. Jacks has been in brilliant form, but with RCB having quite a few established overseas stars such as Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green, it is difficult to imagine how the Royal Challengers Bangalore will be able to accommodate Jacks.

On this day in 2015, AB de Villiers smashed the fastest 50 and 100 in ODI cricket against the West Indies in Johannesburg.

Will Jacks a complete package: De Villiers

“He (Jacks) has not played a game for RCB. That’s crazy for all the talent that he has got. Seems like the people of Bengaluru and RCBians are excited for this man to perform for RCB,” De Villiers said in a video on his YouTube channel.

“That’s a big question (will Jacks play for RCB). We know he can score big runs. It is a nightmare for the selectors. I hope they (RCB) make a spot for him. He is a complete package and can win games at Chinnaswamy or anywhere else he goes for RCB,” De Villiers added.
