England all-rounder Will Jacks has levelled a towering T20 World Cup benchmark, securing four Player of the Match awards to match Shane Watson’s 2012 haul. This achievement crowns him as the Three Lions’ standout performer, steering them to semifinal glory as the tournament’s pace-setters.
The campaign kicked off with a Nepal thriller win, soured by West Indies woes that threatened elimination. Jacks flipped the script. His explosive middle-order cameos and timely spin wickets dismantled oppositions, ensuring Super 8 supremacy.
Batting stats: 191 runs off seven innings, averaging 63.66 at 176.85 SR, with 53* top score. Brook’s 228 leads the team tally. Jacks’ bowling haul of seven scalps rounds out a dream resume.
Tying Watson and edging Raza (three MOTMs in 2022), Jacks eyes history in the semifinal. Victory there could yield a record-breaking fifth award and a final ticket.
Jacks’ rise signals a new era for English cricket, blending audacious strokeplay with shrewd bowling. As semifinals beckon, his form could define the champions.
