Will Jacks IPL stats begin with one of the most violent innings the league has ever seen. In April 2024, the English all-rounder walked out for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Ahmedabad chasing 201 against the Gujarat Titans, spent ten overs looking ordinary alongside Virat Kohli, and then produced ten overs of mayhem: a 41-ball hundred with ten sixes, finishing 100 not out to chase the target down in just 16 overs. It was the fifth-fastest century in IPL history at the time, and it announced a player whose entire game is built around damaging bowling attacks in short bursts.
Three seasons later, Jacks has become a Mumbai Indians regular after the franchise paid Rs 5.25 crore for him at the 2025 mega auction. His 28 IPL matches have produced 602 runs at a strike rate of 158.84 and 10 wickets with his handy off-breaks, but the career arc is still taking shape: a breakout debut season, a workmanlike second year, and a 2026 campaign where the strike rate soared back to 182.89. This page brings together his verified season-by-season IPL numbers, career totals, auction price history, records, and what is confirmed about his IPL 2027 status.

Who Is Will Jacks?
William George Jacks, born 21 November 1998 in Chertsey, Surrey, is an England international who came up through every age-group level at Surrey before breaking into the first team at 19. He is a right-handed top-order batter and a more than serviceable off-spin bowler, a combination that has taken him into all three England formats and every major T20 league in the world. He shot to wider attention in 2019 by hitting a 25-ball hundred in a pre-season T10 friendly for Surrey, and in 2022 he became the second man to score a century in The Hundred, making 108 off 48 balls for the Oval Invincibles.
His England breakthrough came in the Test arena: handed a debut on the 2022 Pakistan tour, he took a six-wicket haul in Rawalpindi, the first England debutant spinner since 1993 to claim a five-for on Test debut. By 2024 he was a regular in England’s white-ball squads, and in early 2024 he hit centuries in the SA20, the Bangladesh Premier League and the IPL inside three months. Mumbai Indians bought him for Rs 5.25 crore at the 2025 mega auction, and he has since worn the blue of Hardik Pandya‘s side for two straight seasons.
Will Jacks IPL Teams
| Season | Team | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Bought at auction (Rs 3.2 crore), missed season with injury |
| 2024 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Retained (Rs 3.2 crore), 8 matches played |
| 2025 | Mumbai Indians | Bought at mega auction (Rs 5.25 crore), 13 matches played |
| 2026 | Mumbai Indians | Retained (Rs 5.25 crore), 7 matches played |
| 2027 | – | Not officially confirmed |
Jacks arrived in the IPL a year later than planned. Royal Challengers Bengaluru bought him for Rs 3.2 crore at the December 2022 auction, but an injury on England duty ruled him out of the entire 2023 season before it began. RCB retained him for the same price, and he finally debuted on 11 April 2024. After his explosive debut season, Bengaluru let him go at the 2025 mega auction and Mumbai Indians, looking for a versatile middle-order hitter who could bowl, won the bidding at Rs 5.25 crore. He spent two seasons in blue, retained through 2026, and his next move depends on the IPL 2027 retention and auction decisions, none of which have been officially confirmed.
Will Jacks IPL 2024 Stats
| Format | Matches | Runs | Highest Score | Average | Strike Rate | Wickets | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batting | 8 | 230 | 100* | 32.86 | 175.57 | – | – |
| Bowling | 8 | – | – | – | – | 2 | 11.43 |
The 2024 season belonged almost entirely to one afternoon in Ahmedabad. Playing for Faf du Plessis‘s RCB, Jacks walked in after the early wicket, started slowly while Virat Kohli set the tempo, and then detonated: 28 runs off one Mohit Sharma over, then four sixes and a four off Rashid Khan to reach a 41-ball century and finish the chase of 201 with 24 balls to spare. It earned him Player of the Match and remains his only IPL hundred. Across the season he made 230 runs in 8 matches at a strike rate of 175.57 with one fifty to go with the century, and chipped in two wickets with the ball.
Will Jacks IPL 2025 Stats
| Format | Matches | Runs | Highest Score | Average | Strike Rate | Wickets | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batting | 13 | 233 | 53 | 23.30 | 135.47 | – | – |
| Bowling | 13 | – | – | – | – | 6 | 8.57 |
Jacks’ first season in Mumbai blue was the busiest of his IPL career: 13 appearances, the most of any season. The batting was steadier than spectacular — 233 runs at 23.30 with a top score of 53, a strike rate of 135.47 and one fifty. His best knock of the season was a 57 off 30 balls against Lucknow Super Giants. The more interesting development was his bowling: MI used his off-breaks far more than RCB had, and he returned 6 wickets at an average of 20.00 and an economy of 8.57, his best bowling season in the league. It was the year Jacks became a genuine two-discipline contributor rather than just a part-time bowler who could hit.
Will Jacks IPL 2026 Stats

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batting | 7 | 139 | 46 | 27.80 | 182.89 | – | – |
| Bowling | 7 | – | – | – | – | 2 | 11.06 |
The 2026 season was Jacks’ most explosive per-ball campaign, and also his shortest: 7 matches, 139 runs, but a strike rate of 182.89, the highest of any of his three IPL seasons. His top score was 46, and he cleared the ropes nine times in just 76 balls faced. With the ball he took 2 wickets in 8.5 overs, though at an expensive 11.06 runs an over. The season ended with a 33 off 18 against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede in his final appearance, a neat summary of the role MI now uses him for: short, high-impact bursts rather than long innings.
Will Jacks IPL 2027 Stats
IPL 2027 statistics are not available yet because the season has not started. As of October 2026, there is no officially confirmed IPL 2027 team or price for Will Jacks. He played for Mumbai Indians in 2026 after being retained at Rs 5.25 crore, and media speculation about the 2027 retention lists has varied on whether MI will keep him — none of it is official. This page will be updated when his IPL 2027 status is confirmed through official team announcements.
Will Jacks IPL 2027 Team and Price
Will Jacks’ IPL 2027 team and price are not officially confirmed. His last confirmed status is with the Mumbai Indians, who retained him for IPL 2026 at Rs 5.25 crore after buying him at the 2025 mega auction. As of October 2026 the retention deadline has not produced any official confirmation either way, and his name will appear in the IPL 2027 retention announcements when franchises submit their lists. For context, his value at auction has only risen since RCB first bought him for Rs 3.2 crore in 2022. Any 2027 figure on this page before the official announcement would be speculation.

Will Jacks IPL Highest Score
Will Jacks’ highest IPL score is 100 not out, scored for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 28 April 2024. Chasing 201, RCB lost Faf du Plessis early, but Jacks and Virat Kohli put on an unbeaten 166-run stand in 74 balls to win by nine wickets with four overs to spare. Jacks reached his fifty in 31 balls and his hundred in just 41, the fifth-fastest century in IPL history at the time. The innings included five fours and ten sixes — he hit 29 runs off Rashid Khan’s 16th over alone to finish the game. It was his maiden IPL century, and it remains the defining innings of his IPL career.
Will Jacks IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Will Jacks has taken 10 wickets in 28 IPL matches, bowling 31.5 overs of right-arm off-break at an average of 31.40 and an economy rate of 9.86. His most productive bowling season was 2025 for Mumbai Indians, when he took 6 wickets in 14 overs at an average of 20.00 and an economy of 8.57 — the only season in which a franchise has trusted him with regular overs. His best individual bowling figures in the IPL are not available from reliable published sources. Bowling was always the secondary string to his bow, but the 2025 season showed that in the right matchup MI are willing to use him as more than a part-timer.
Will Jacks IPL Batting Records
The record that defines Will Jacks in the IPL is his 41-ball hundred against Gujarat Titans in 2024 — at the time, the fifth-fastest century in the history of the league. He is one of the few English players to score an IPL century, and his 100 not out powered an unbeaten 166-run stand with Virat Kohli in 74 balls, one of the great IPL run chases. Across his career he has struck at 158.84 overall, rising to 175.57 and 182.89 in his two most explosive seasons.
Will Jacks IPL Auction Price History
| Season | Team | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Rs 3.2 crore | Auction purchase, missed season through injury |
| 2024 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Rs 3.2 crore | Retained |
| 2025 | Mumbai Indians | Rs 5.25 crore | Auction purchase (mega auction) |
| 2026 | Mumbai Indians | Rs 5.25 crore | Retained |
| 2027 | – | Not officially confirmed | Retention/auction status not confirmed |
Jacks’ price curve tells a clean story of a stock rising. RCB’s Rs 3.2 crore outlay in December 2022 sat idle for a season while he recovered from injury; by the 2025 mega auction, after the 41-ball hundred, Mumbai Indians paid Rs 5.25 crore and retained him at the same figure a year later. The Rs 5.25 crore tag puts him in MI’s senior overseas bracket alongside names like Ryan Rickelton and Naman Dhir among the retained core.
Will Jacks IPL Records and Achievements
The headline achievement of Will Jacks’ IPL career is his 41-ball century for RCB against Gujarat Titans in April 2024, the fifth-fastest hundred in IPL history at the time of scoring and still one of the fastest by an overseas player. Beyond that single innings, his achievements are measured in roles earned: a Rs 5.25 crore mega-auction price from Mumbai Indians, retention by the franchise for a second straight season, and the most expensive all-round duties of his career in 2025, when he played 13 matches and bowled his fullest IPL quota. In 2026 he recorded the highest season strike rate of his IPL career (182.89). No IPL title, orange cap, or end-of-season award has come his way yet — the record book so far is one great innings and the trajectory of a player teams keep paying up for.
Will Jacks IPL Performance Analysis
The numbers draw a clear picture of what Jacks is in the IPL: a high-variance impact player whose value lives in strike rate, not volume. His 2024 season (175.57) and 2026 season (182.89) show a batter who scores at elite pace when he fires; his 2025 season (135.47, average 23.30) shows what happens when the fireworks do not come — the average sags because he does not accumulate in long innings. That is by design: MI use him in short, high-leverage roles, and his balls-per-boundary rate is among the best of his franchise’s middle order.
The bowling trend is more encouraging than the raw 10-wicket career haul suggests. Used sparingly by RCB (9.1 overs in 2024), he got a real workload at MI in 2025 (14 overs, 6 wickets, 8.57 economy) — genuinely useful figures for a part-time off-spinner in a league that punishes them. The 2026 economy (11.06) was a step back, but on a small sample. The honest summary: Jacks is a batter first whose bowling is a bonus that, in the right season, becomes a genuine second skill. For his IPL career to move from promising to premium, the 2024-style batting explosions need to happen more than once a season.
