Speaking of that over, Luke Hollman came to bowl and Jacks fit five back-to-back sixes in the first five balls. In the last ball, he took a single as Hollman conceded 31 runs. The England international was roped in by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2023 for INR 3.2 Crores. But, he sustained a muscle injury while playing an ODI against Bangladesh. Hence, he got ruled out and the Kiwi international, Michael Bracewell replaced him. So, seeing that carnage, RCB fans were elated all over social media.  

Speaking of the match, Surrey scored 252 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Middlesex batters were on full song as they chased down the target with seven wickets and four balls in hand.
