Sheldon Philip Jackson (born 27 September 1986)[1] is an Indian cricketer. He is a wicketkeeper-batsman who currently plays for Saurashtra in domestic cricket.[2] He was a part of Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team in 2017 After a good domestic season in 2012–13, he was signed up by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in February 2013.[3] He finished the 2014–15 Ranji Trophy season as the fifth-highest run-getter. During the 2015–16 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Jackson hit two centuries on two consecutive days of the competition.[4] Jackson made his debut for Saurashtra in 2011 and scored 5634 runs in first-class cricket at an average of 49.42, including 19 hundreds and 27 half-centuries.

On 3 March 2017, during the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Chhattisgarh, Jackson became only the second Indian batsman to be given out in a List A match by obstructing the field.[5]

On 2 November 2018, in Saurashtra's match against Chhattisgarh in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, he scored his fifteenth century in first-class cricket.[6] He was the leading run-scorer for Saurashtra in the group-stage of the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, with 613 runs in eight matches.[7]

In July 2020, Jackson moved from Saurashtra to Puducherry, ahead of the 2020–21 Ranji Trophy.[8] In February 2021, Jackson was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL auction ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League.[9]
