Will Jacks set to debut for Mumbai Indians

Will Jacks is set to make his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians on April 29, 2026, as they face the Sunrisers Hyderabad. His arrival comes at a crucial time as the team struggles in the tournament.

Jacks missed the start of IPL 2026 due to a break following a busy England schedule. He has finally joined the Mumbai Indians squad after a delayed arrival. The team currently holds just 4 points from their first 7 matches.

Key facts:

• Jacks has been training with the squad at Wankhede Stadium for the last 48 hours.
• Mitchell Santner has been ruled out of the season due to a shoulder injury.
• Rohit Sharma has been sidelined since April 12 due to a hamstring injury.

Jacks can provide off-spin bowling and middle-order batting for MI. An insider said, “Will gives a better balance to the side.” He is described as “ready to slot straight in” for the upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The Mumbai Indians are going through a tough phase in IPL 2026 with only two wins so far. Their performance in this match could determine their chances of making it to the playoffs.
