The Wankhede Stadium witnessed a sensational showdown as Mumbai Indians (MI) locked horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2025. Amidst the electrifying atmosphere, Will Jacks, MI’s newest recruit, stole the spotlight with a breathtaking all-round performance, earning the coveted Player of the Match award.
Jacks, who joined MI in the mega auction, wasted no time proving his worth. His disciplined bowling turned the tide for MI, as he scalped two key wickets—Ishan Kishan and Travis Head—in just three overs. With an enviable economy of 4.62, Jacks strangled SRH’s batting lineup, leaving them reeling.

When MI took to the chase, Jacks transformed into a composed yet explosive batter. His 36 off 26 balls, laced with three boundaries and two towering sixes, provided the momentum MI desperately needed. His strike rate of 138.46 was a testament to his ability to balance patience and aggression.
In the post-match interview, Jacks opened up about his journey: “The tournament’s been a bit of a slow start for the team and myself, which was incredibly frustrating. I’m thrilled to have turned things around. It was tough, especially dropping that catch early on. But I’ve settled in now, feeling comfortable and confident. Being part of such a star-studded setup is a dream, and I’m learning every day.”
