NEW DELHI:
Will Jacks
notched up a breathtaking century, while
Virat Kohli
stepped up during the middle overs as the
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
outclassed the Gujarat Titans by nine wickets in the
IPL 2024
match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Virat (70 not out off 44 balls), who faced criticism for his approach in the middle overs in the previous game, used the sweep shot effectively against the spinners to make his mark.
Jacks (100 not out off 41 balls) then took control, dominating the chase and securing the 201-run target with 24 balls to spare.
Jacks unleashed a relentless attack in what turned out to be the final over of the game, hitting four sixes and a four off Rashid Khan, ending the match much earlier than anticipated. His astonishing performance included 10 sixes.
After the game, RCB posted a captivating video on their social media of Virat engaging in a conversation with Jacks about his outstanding innings.
WATCH:
With one run needed to win and 6 for his century, Jacks sent Rashid Khan over deep midwicket for a six, reaching his hundred and securing victory for RCB in style.
RCB, who are languishing at the bottom of the points tally, claimed their third win in 10 matches.
RCB will next face Gujarat Titans once again on May 4.
