"Jacks saved their honor last year. RCB came in the top four because of him. I remember two matches. He helped RCB beat SRH (SunRisers Hyderabad) in Hyderabad with his bowling and scored a hundred against GT ( Gujarat Titans ) in Ahmedabad off 40 balls. So Will Jacks won them two matches on his own and they didn't take him," said Mohammad Kaif on RCB and them not using RTM for Will Jacks.

"RCB said they don't want good players. They let (Rishabh) Pant and KL (Rahul) go, and he (Jacks) played well for them. It's not easy for any batter to score a hundred. The RCB fans will be extremely disappointed. We have seen from yesterday (Day 1) that RCB's auction planning was bad, and today (Day 2) they went from bad to worse. I believe not taking Jacks is a massive miss," said Mohammad Kaif as he further added to his comments. 

Will Jacks will be playing for Mumbai Indians in the 2025 IPL after they picked him up for Rs. 5.25 Crores.
