Jake Fraser-McGurk turned out to be a revelation in IPL 2024 for Delhi Capitals. The young Australian batter lighted up the Indian Premier League with his pinch-hitting abilities from the very first ball. DC shocked everyone when they didn’t retain the youngster on IPL 2025 Retention Day. As he continues to shine for Australia, here is why Delhi Capitals should use the RTM on him during the IPL 2025 auction.
The latest outing by Jake Fraser-McGurk in the AUS vs PAK 2nd T20I will serve as a fresh reminder for Delhi Capitals. The youngster opened the account for the hosts and went on to unleash his carnage in his small stay. He scored 20 from 9 balls while smashing 3 fours and 1 six.
McGruk should be prime target for DC
It is interesting to note that all the four boundaries came against ace Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi in the very first over of the game. McGruk’s quick firing knock continues to prove the point that the young batter can fire on all cylinders and is tailor-made for the shortest format of the game.
Back last season, Jake Fraser-McGurk has his dream debut season. For the Delhi Capitals he went on to play 9 matches from which he amassed 330 runs. With a good average of around 37, he clobbed 4 fifties. But what is even more interesting is his strike rate.
Dealing more in boundaries, he went on to slam 32 fours and 28 sixes which greatly helped in boosting his strike rate to a whopping 234.
