With less than a couple of months left for the IPL to begin, discussions have already begun on team compositions, with many players proving their mettle in T20 competitions around the world. Talking on similar lines, RCB Hall of Famer, AB de Villiers, had an important message for the franchise, pointing out a key name who can actually prove to be the X-factor.

De Villiers was referring to Will Jacks, who has been on fire in the ongoing SA20, having scored 165 runs from 4 innings at a stunning strike rate of 196.43, including a century. With the ball, Jacks has 5 wickets at an economy rate of just over 6 RPO, proving his credentials as a classy all-rounder. 

Jacks was signed by RCB in the IPL 2023 mini auction for INR 3.2 Crore, but the Englishman was ruled out of the season due to injury. However, considering his form of late, De Villiers believes Jacks could be a game-changer for RCB in IPL 2024. 

Talking on his YouTube channel, De Villiers said, “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. We know he can score big runs. It is a nightmare for the selectors. I hope RCB make a spot for him. He is a complete package and can win games at Chinnaswamy or anywhere he goes for RCB.
