Jacks' Arrival Ignites Hope for Sinking MI Ship

Mumbai Indians snag a huge boost. Will Jacks joins the squad this week, fresh off missing the first four IPL 2026 matches. England's all-rounder lit up the Ashes and that T20 World Cup semi-final run—226 runs, nine wickets in the bag. Kieron Pollard, MI coach, confirmed it all right as the team's been scraping by.

One win in four outings. Desperate times. Jacks brings the bang-up top-order hitting plus that nagging off-spin, exactly what they need after collapsing 18 runs short against RCB at Wankhede. Chasing 240/4, they limped to 222/5. He touches down just before the Punjab Kings clash.

Squad lists check out. Jacks slots in, bang on cue for MI's fightback.
