Will Jacks unleashed his fury last night against the might of the Gujarat Titans as they were completely outplayed by a visiting RCB. He smashed a tempestuous century from just 41 balls, rattling a posse of records along the way. Jacks hammered five fours and ten sixes en route to his maiden IPL ton.

Jacks won the Player of the Match award for his match-winning knock. Talking at the post-match presentation, Jacks was vocal about the entire innings and the support that he received from Virat Kohli at the non-striker’s end. While finishing his speech, he also had a word of thanks for his teammates at RCB.

Jacks said, “Amazing feeling right now. Faf and Virat got us off to a very good start. I struggled early on, but Virat kept his intensity up and gave me the chance to find my rhythm. Once we had the time-out, we said, "let's get two really good overs here and we win the game." Once that happened, I just kept going and amazing feeling right now.”

He further talked about tackling spin and that too against two of the finest in the league, Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan. Will  said, “I was trying to be positive, was just struggling. I was trying to overhit the ball, probably little bit tensed. Once I got one away off Mohit, I relaxed, got into my innings and then just trusted myself. Next game, hopefully I do that earlier.”

He then shifted to the part about how batting with Kohli feels like and he said, “It's amazing, he's a legend of the game and is someone everyone looks up to. To spend some time in the middle is a great feeling, a huge learning curve. When I go away from the IPL, I'll learn so much from batting with him and playing with him. I'll try to take it all on board.”

Will concluded by saying, “I need to be a bit more adaptable at the beginning of my innings and get myself in a little bit quicker. I was lucky today because 17 off 17 is not going to win you many games. The other guys around me saved me earlier today.”
