His clean hitting and brute force were on full display as he demolished the Gujarat Titans bowling attack. Jacks’ innings was a masterclass in power-hitting, with all 10 of his sixes coming through the leg-side.
While Jacks stole the show with his explosive batting, Kohli played a crucial supporting role with a well-crafted innings.
