Recently, during an RCB event, the batter opened up on the experience of playing with the Bengaluru-based franchise at other venues than the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Indian sports broadcaster Mayanti Langer asked Jacks how supportive fans have been outside Bengaluru.
Jacks said that every game has been a home game, owing to the support of the fans. He told Mayanti, “I think I'm stuck on what counts as it feels like every game is a home game. It’s amazing. At least half of RCB shirts are in the crowd, it’s an amazing feeling, they are always chanting obviously. Kohli and RCB chants everywhere, like you are out of the way there like you feel like there’s something out there. You always feel you got support, and if you do well, they will cheer for you.”
