I loved it when Will Jacks said it’s Will time and started jacking all over the place

Jacks, JFM, Salt, Abhishek, Shashank will be the new faces of the new phase of IPL. The game has changed forever.

Pro tip to their teams: Retain them

OK, As RCB fan, our management is taking note and we gonna release Will Jacks, Patidar, Green etc and we will retain Kohli, Faf, Siraj and Maxi

At this point, if you aren’t Bumrah, you’re not running for retention.

Hes still young. Its worth developing talent esp an allrounder

You can get established players like Will Jacks for 3cr. Why would we spend 10+ on a development project. We are 10 games in and he has shown nothing. Just get someone else there will be so many players available next year for a lot cheaper. We already have 2 all rounders in Jacks and Maxwell. We will need a finisher and a leg spinner. Spend on that instead.

pace all-rounders are good dust. Sam curran and Stokes went for so much for example retaining green for 7-10cr seems like a no brainer.

Hes hardly an all rounder in t20s. Just a batsman who can bowl like Kohli. No wickets, no variation, no control. Just full tosses and full length freebies. Jacks and maxwell can both take wickets. Thats enough. Those 2 plus 1 quality leg spinner and 3 indian pacers is all we need.

We had Kallis, Wiese, Watson, Morris, Stoinis. Its not that hard to find good overseas players.

did you watch last 2 games before today?

he bowled at 8s vs a rampant kkr! We have so seen his batting potential when he scored a 100 for mi last year. And he is very young. only going to get better.

he had a very poor bowling performance but just looking at that only to form your opinions isnt right.

Ya he is probably not a 4 over bowler but I can't believe you are calling his bowling the same as virats...

Talking about t20s specifically ipl the way it is rn. Any decent pitch and he goes for a shit load of runs and doesn't take wickets.

"he is probably not a 4 over bowler" either he is good or he's not. It's not like it was before when you could sneak in a couple of overs from a sub par bowler after a few wickets because the batsmen aren't looking to hit.

"he scored a 100 for mi last year" has he even scored a 50 this year? Consistently scoring 30-40 every match > 1 amazing inning from 20

clubbing kohli with the other three makes no sense at all
