Jacks to the rescue
RCB’sstar-studded opening pair of Captain Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli began stunningly as the pair added 40 for the first wicket inside four wickets.Faf’swicket brought the English all-rounder Jacks to the crease, and the carnage began from that point.
The two batters took the attack to the opposition, with Kohli being the aggressor of the two in the beginning. However, the tides turned as the game entered into its second half. While they looked dominant in their approach, Jacks took the onus on himself and put RCB in the winning position right after completing his fifty.
In the next ten deliveries, he smashed another fifty - the fewest taken by anyone from 50 to reach 100 in IPLand get to his maiden hundred and his team across the winning line with nine wickets in hand.
Jacks'hundred came in 41 balls - the fifth-highest in the tournament history. Besides, it was alsoRCB’ssecond-highest successful run-chase in IPL.
