Will Jacks is set to make his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 29, 2026. This comes after he missed the start of the season due to a break following a busy England schedule.
Jacks has finally joined the Mumbai Indians squad after a delayed arrival. He has been training with the team at Wankhede Stadium for the last 48 hours.
The Mumbai Indians currently sit with 4 points from their first 7 matches in IPL 2026, struggling to find form. Rohit Sharma has been sidelined since April 12 due to a hamstring injury, adding to their challenges.
Mitchell Santner has been ruled out of the season due to a shoulder injury. Jacks can provide off-spin bowling and middle-order batting, which could help balance the squad.
A team source mentioned, “Will gives a better balance to the side.” He is described as “ready to slot straight in” for this crucial match.
The Mumbai Indians need a strong performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad as they aim to improve their standings in the league.
