The beauty of hitting six lies in the satisfaction of finding the sweet spot on the bat and watching the ball soar into the stands. Such was the case in the contest between Gujarat and Bengaluru where Will Jacks smashed Rashid Khan for four sixes and a four to reach his ton and win the game.

Chasing the formidable total of 200 set by the Gujarat Titans, courtesy of Sai Sudharsan's explosive 84 off 49 balls, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru got off to a promising start with Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli laying down a solid foundation with a 40-run partnership. However, Faf’s departure in the fourth over shifted the focus onto Will Jacks and Kohli to steer the innings forward. The pair didn't disappoint, orchestrating a magnificent 166-run partnership that paved the way for victory for the visitors. Jacks stole the spotlight in the 16th over when he launched four sixes, reaching his century and sealing the win for RCB.

After hammering 29 runs off the 15th over, Jacks was determined to clinch victory for Bengaluru. Needing just 23 runs off the last five overs, Rashid Khan was brought in to break the second-wicket partnership. However, Jacks had other plans when he smashed two massive sixes off the second and third deliveries. Refusing to ease up, he followed it up with a boundary and two more maximums to reach his century and secure victory for RCB in just 16 overs. Kohli's embrace spoke volumes about his appreciation for Jacks' remarkable batting performance, which not only secured the win but also bolstered RCB's net run rate.

The Twitterverse erupted in admiration for Jack's exceptional innings, with social media buzzing with discussions about his extraordinary display with the bat.
