In a game-changing moment for the Mumbai Indians during Match 45 of IPL 2025, English all-rounder Will Jacks claimed two massive wickets in a single over, dismantling Lucknow Super Giants’ top order and shifting momentum firmly in MI’s favor. Introduced right after the powerplay, Jacks struck with his very first delivery, removing Nicholas Pooran with a loopy ball that was mistimed into the hands of long-off, where Suryakumar Yadav completed a running catch.
Former cricketer Virender Sehwag has expressed his support for Suryakumar Yadav to occupy the permanent No. 3 batting position for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023. Meanwhile, ex-India cricketer Harbhajan Singh believes the Mumbai Indians have the potential to finish in the top two at the end of the league stage and secure their sixth IPL trophy.

Just two balls later, Will Jacks added another to his tally by dismissing Rishabh Pant for a low score. Pant attempted a reverse sweep, only to lob it tamely to short third man, continuing his run of poor form. While Will Jacks bowled just three deliveries, his impact was immediate and decisive, changing the complexion of the LSG chase.

At the time of his spell, LSG had reached 64 for 3 in 6.3 overs, with both top-scoring left-handers dismissed within the same over. Jacks’ double strike puts MI in control as the middle overs begin, giving them a significant edge at a crucial juncture.

Will Jacks’ stunning over reinforces MI’s depth in both batting and bowling departments. With his double breakthrough, MI has not only stalled LSG’s run-rate but also exposed the middle order early. If Jacks continues to deliver such all-round performances, he could prove vital in Mumbai’s playoff run.
