Jacob Bethell, a young talent acquired by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for IPL 2025, is currently showcasing his skills in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25. Playing for Melbourne Renegades, Bethell has been in the spotlight for his potential, and in a recent game, he came very close to his first BBL half-century.

The match against Melbourne Stars at the Melbourne Cricket Ground saw Bethell deliver a solid performance. He scored 49 runs from 36 balls, smashing four boundaries and two sixes. Unfortunately, he missed his maiden fifty by just one run. Despite this, his knock stood out as one of the best in the match.

A Quiet Start to the BBL Season

While his recent innings showed promise, Jacob Bethell’s season with the Renegades has been quiet overall. In five matches, he has scored 105 runs at an average of 21 and a strike rate of 117. These numbers may not fully reflect his capabilities, but his latest knock hints at a potential return to form.

Bethell has been making waves in shorter formats since his T20I and ODI debuts in September. He already has five half-centuries in first-class cricket but hasn’t been promoted beyond No. 4 in red-ball matches. With his ability to adapt and deliver under pressure, fans and teams alike are hopeful about his future.
