RCB’s Will Jacks, the explosive opener, has been ruled out of IPL 2023 due to a shoulder injury. The news came as a shock to RCB fans, who were hoping to see him in action in the upcoming season. Jacks sustained the injury while playing for England in a T20I match against South Africa.

He was one of the top performers in the previous season, scoring 381 runs at an impressive strike rate of 157.02. His absence will create a void in the RCB’s top order, which they will have to fill with a suitable replacement.

Another option is Finn Allen, who was in good form during the New Zealand domestic season, scoring 512 runs at an average of 56.88. RCB can also consider Mohammad Azharuddeen, who was impressive in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 214 runs at a strike rate of 194.54.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the news of Will Jacks being ruled out due to injury is a setback for RCB. However, they have several options to replace him in the playing XI. Devdutt Padikkal, Finn Allen, and Mohammad Azharuddeen are the top contenders for the opening slot. It will be interesting to see whom RCB picks to partner with Virat Kohli at the top of the order.
