There have been tons of talk about which foreigners should RCB at least try and retain. With the retention amounts being on the higher side, Faf du Plessis has been driving the conversations given the fact that he is the captain of the side. However, there is another big name in the side who is also being heavily discussed and that is of Will Jacks. Jacks gave us a glimpse in the last IPL that if gets going, there will be no mercy.
With experts dissecting the residence of Will Jacks, here are three reasons why RCB releasing Will Jacks can be a damning move for the franchise.
#1 Will Jacks is a game changer
Will Jacks has been a game-changer in the word’s truest sense, especially in the shortest format of the game. His crazy strike rates around various franchise tournaments across the globe are blazing testimonies to the sheer brute force that he generates. From the eight matches that he played in IPL. He clobbered 230 runs at a stunning strike rate of 175.57, including an unbeaten century against GT.
#2 A household name in franchise cricket
Jacks have played around the globe in various franchise tournaments including the likes of the Hundred, Vitality Blast, BPL, SA20, PSL and the Big Bash League and his numbers in all of them are incredible. With an overall strike rate close to 150, Will is one of those stalwarts that you will always want in your side. More importantly the experience that he brings to the platter is overwhelming in terms of franchise cricket.
#3 An all-rounder
With BCCI scraping the Impact Player rule from domestic cricket, there might be a high chance that the rule might not be a part of the IPL as well. With that being a possibility teams will need all-rounders and Will Jacks can bowl in a handy spell hither and yon which makes him a fine pick for the side and a wrong call for retention.
