Will Jacks is set to make his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians on April 29, 2026, as they face Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium. This comes at a crucial time for the team, which has struggled in the tournament.

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

Mitchell Santner has been ruled out of the season due to a shoulder injury. His absence creates an opportunity for Jacks, who can provide off-spin bowling and middle-order batting for MI. He has trained with the squad for the last 48 hours and is described as “ready to slot straight in.”

Rohit Sharma has been sidelined since April 12 due to a hamstring injury. His leadership will be missed as the team looks to improve their performance. Mumbai Indians have only won two matches so far this season.

Key facts:

• Will Jacks missed the start of IPL 2026 due to a busy schedule.
• Mumbai Indians have only 4 points from their first 7 matches.
• Mitchell Santner is out for the season with a shoulder injury.

This debut could be pivotal for both Jacks and Mumbai Indians as they aim to turn their season around against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
