Star MI batter Will Jacks explained the main factor that makes swashbuckling batter Suryakumar Yadav consistent in the IPL, as he has continued his sublime form. Suryakumar has had a score of 20-plus in every game that he has played in this season and has scored 583 runs in 13 games so far as well.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the important MI vs PBKS, Jacks said, “I think he’s brilliant and, like you say, he’s had a fantastic season. To be consistent in every game as he has is really tricky. We all know that, so it’s very special what he’s done. He’s a very hard worker.”

“He prepares for each different venue and each bowler he’s going to play. He has his plan, and he sticks to that, so I’d say that’s contributed a lot to his consistency and starting fresh every game. He’s very flexible. He can bat in the powerplay and at the end. He played a brilliant innings the other day, right through the innings. I think being able to be adaptable and be in every situation has really contributed to his consistency. I’ve definitely learned a lot from watching him, and he’s been very open in the change room as well,” said Jacks again.

Will Jacks also said that the mood in the camp is good as they have qualified for the playoffs, and with the top two spots up for grabs, he feels that everyone will want to finish as high as possible.

“Yeah, the camp is feeling good. We’ve been progressing nicely throughout the competition. We were playing well before the break, and since we’ve come back, we’ve felt good and just slotted back into the rhythm we had earlier. Every team wants to finish as high as possible. We’re very happy to have qualified, and we’ve got an important game tomorrow,” concluded Will Jacks.
