Delhi Capitals opener Jake Fraser-McGurk went bonkers in the powerplay against the MI bowlers as he smashed a half-century off just 15 deliveries. Earlier in IPL 2024, the Australian batter raced to a fifty off the same 15 deliveries in the game against SRH on April 20. The young batter’s third fifty in IPL 2024 comes as a positive side for Australia ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.
Fraser-McGurk shows why he is better than David Warner
Put in to bat first, DC got off to a flying start with McGurk taking full control of the powerplay. The young batter has proved his worth with his destructive batting ability in the absence of DC’s seasoned opener – David Warner. McGurk’s red-hot form is a positive sign for Australia ahead of the marquee tournament, considering his mix of conventional and innovative shots.
The batter was finally dismissed by Piyush Chawla, bringing the curtains down on his 84-runs innings. He struck 11 fours and 6 sixes during his stay at the crease. So far, McGurk has scored 241 runs in five games, with an extraoridnary strike rate of 238.61 in IPL 2024.
