SA20: In the mega auction held for the Indian Premier League 2025, Mumbai Indians had spent lavishly for a batsman. The team wanted to win the next season's title on the strength of this batsman, but the performance of this batsman in the South Africa T20 League has increased the concern of the team.

Had placed a big bet on this batsman

In the mega auction held for IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians had bought England's explosive batsman Will Jacques, who had a base price of Rs 2 crore, for Rs 5 crore 25 lakh. After being bought by MI, RCB did not use RTM for its former player. MI looked very happy after purchasing Cap Jacques. But his performance in SA20 has raised concerns for MI.

Only this many runs in 5 matches

Jacques' performance for RCB in IPL 2024 was excellent. He also scored a century. But his bat has been silent in SA20. Jacques has been able to score only 115 runs in 4 innings of 5 matches at an ordinary average of 28.75. Jacques plays for Pretoria Capitals in the South African League.

This was the performance in IPL

Will Jacques, along with explosive batting, is also a useful spin bowler. Last season he was a part of RCB. Last season, RCB gave him a chance to play only 8 matches. Jacques had scored 230 runs at a strike rate above 175 and an average of 32.86. 100 not out was his top score. Apart from this, he also took 2 wickets.
