The Hundred 2025: Mumbai Indians star all-rounder Will Jacks is currently representing Oval Invincibles during Hundred 2025. He was playing against the London Spirit at The Oval and helped the team win by six wickets by showing his batting and fielding prowess.
During the first innings, he took a stunning flying catch and helped the team dismiss London Spirit batter Ollie Pope. It occurred during the 34th ball, which was bowled by Sam Curran.
Pope, who came into bat at the No.3 position, mistimed a shot and couldn't beat Jacks, who jumped towards his right and took a stunning catch while standing outside the 30-yard circle.
The video of Jack's stunning catch was posted on the Hundred's official X account, and after a few seconds, it had gone viral on social media.
