The Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) turned their social media channels into a battleground for lighthearted banter during Match 56 of IPL 2024. The source of the amusement? The explosive batting performance of young Australian prodigy Jake Fraser-McGurk.
‘Nut & Bolt’ banter between DC & RR
In the very first over, things got interesting when a fiery delivery from RR’s Trent Boult struck Fraser-McGurk right in the “box” (crotch area). Following the incident, the RR’s social media team posted a cheeky photo featuring a nut and a bolt, likely a playful jab hinting at the blow McGurk took.
However, Fraser-McGurk had the last laugh. Unfazed by the blow, the Aussie unleashed his fury on the RR bowlers, hammering a blistering 50 runs in just 19 balls. This dominant display prompted the DC to fire back on social media. They countered the Royals’ post with an image of a screw firmly fixing a bolt, a witty response suggesting they had tightened things up after the Boult delivery.
