Will Jacks has high hopes for RCB’s IPL 2024 playoff chances: You never know what could occur

According to Will Jacks, there is still a possibility for RCB to get to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs. The team led by Faf du Plessis is now mired near the bottom of the standings, having won only one of their last eight games. The Challengers need something exceptional to change their tournament fortunes after a current six-match losing run.

We deliberately tried to get wickets with the new ball. I hope that turns out well. “You never know what can happen if we win a few matches,” Jacks said before to SRH’s game against the RCB on Thursday, April 25, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

After losing to Shreyas Iyer’s KKR by one run at the Eden Gardens, RCB, who is struggling to move up the points table, will square up against the Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers. Jacks said that RCB must force their opponents to score less than average since SRH has amassed three of the top four team totals in the IPL.

“SRH has a lot of confidence. Three of their scores exceeded 260. Now that they are playing at home, every hitter seems to be in peak shape. Coming here is a challenge. We can win if we limit them to a par or lower score, according to Jacks.

Jacks understands the danger that Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head represent at the top of the hierarchy. The hard-hitter said that the RCB might put pressure on the SRH middle order if they could remove them early.

“Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head will attack bowlers aggressively from the first ball.” We leave their plans to the bowlers, whatever they may be. They are essentially batting the whole powerplay together. Thus, ideally, we can limit them to a low total if we acquire them and can deliver No. 3 early, Jacks said.
