Sheldon Jackson IPL Stats  

Sheldon Jackson has been a part of two IPL sides, plying his trade with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite being in the RCB squad, he did not get any opportunities, with the wicketkeeper’s only IPL appearances coming for the Knight Riders. He has only participated in nine games scoring 61 runs at a strike rate of 107. However, Jackson did well in the 2022 editions of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy, which could see him earn an IPL contract once again in December.

Which IPL Franchise will bid for Sheldon Jackson?

KKR made several investments in Saurashtra lad earlier, but failed to give him an extended run of chances. With the franchise looking for a player who can do well behind the stumps and also bat in the middle order, it would not come as a surprise if the two-time IPL champions look to resign Sheldon Jackson.

Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are also looking for a suitable backup Indian wicket-keeping option. As a result, the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 winner could make an appearance in IPL 2023, with a few teams seeking a reliable wicketkeeper-batter at the IPL 2023 auction.
