Will Jacks Century: Today, Royal Challengers Bangalore's young batsman Will Jacques created a storm with the bat at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the home ground of Gujarat Titans. In the match, RCB performed brilliantly and defeated Gujarat by 9 wickets. In the match, Will Jacques burst with the bat and scored an inning of 100 runs. On the basis of his innings, Jacques made a big record in his name. He has left behind greats like Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli in certain matters.
In fact, Will Jacques took just 10 balls to go from 50 to 100 runs. This is the lowest number of balls taken by any batsman in IPL history. He has left behind Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli in this matter. Jacques completed his half-century in 31 balls against Gujarat Titans today and then scored a century in 41 balls. His unbeaten innings included 5 fours and 10 sixes.
After Will Jacks, Chris Gayle is second in terms of facing the fewest number of balls to reach his century from 50 runs in IPL. Gayle faced only 13 balls to reach his century from 50 runs against Pune Warriors India in 2013. This is the same match in which Gayle scored the fastest century in IPL history, which is still a record.
At number three in the list is the name of Royal Challengers Bangalore's legendary batsman and fans' favorite Virat Kohli. Kohli took just 14 balls to reach 100 runs from 50 against Gujarat Lions in 2016.
Kohli's bat also played well against Gujarat Titans today. He played an unbeaten inning of 70 runs with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes in 44 balls against Gujarat.
Along with making a special record in his name, Will Jacques took only 6 minutes to reach his century from 50 runs. This was also a special thing in itself. RCB fans would now like that Jax's bat continues to perform like this in the upcoming matches also.
