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.
