SA20: Will Jacks perfectly imitates Virat Kohli’s ‘famous T20 World Cup six off Haris Rauf'

English cricketer Will Jacks, who is currently playing for Pretoria Capitals in the ongoing SA20 T20 Championship in South Africa, smashed a six against Jofra Archer of MI Cape Town in a recently concluded league match, which was very much similar to the famous shot India’s Virat Kohli played against Haris Rauf of Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022.

Batting first, Jacks and Kusal Mendis gave a flying start to the Capitals at the Newlands stadium in Cape Town with an opening stand of 88 runs in just 7 overs. On the last delivery of the fourth over, the 24-year-old batter stood tall like Virat against Archer to a back of a length with a horizontal bat and smashed it right over the pacer’s head just like Kohli had done in the T20 World Cup.
