Krunal Pandya gets rid of Will Jacks for 22 with a bouncer in strange dismissal during MI vs RCB IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Krunal Pandya got rid of well-set Will Jacks in the IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium on Monday, April 7. The left-arm spinner bowled a bouncer to dismiss Jacks for 22 runs off 18 balls in an unusual dismissal.

The wicket came in the 10th over of MI’s run chase. Krunal bowled a bouncer, a short delivery, on middle and off-stump. The right-hander was taken by surprise before playing a pull shot, but was late on the ball. All he managed was a top edge towards the long leg, where Virat Kohli completed a safe catch. With the wicket, Krunal reduced Mumbai to 79/3 after 9.4 overs.

This was Will Jack's fourth consecutive failure with the bat in IPL 2025. He has returned with scores of 11, 16, 5, and 22. On the other hand, Krunal returned to the wicket tally after going wicketless in his last two games.
