Jake Fraser-McGurk displayed remarkable batting prowess, smashing an impressive 84 runs off just 27 balls to help Delhi Capitals reach a formidable total of 257 for four against the Mumbai Indians in scorching Delhi heat in an IPL match on Saturday. Fraser-McGurk excelled in the initial overs, while Tristan Stubbs brought further momentum in the later stages with an unbeaten 48 off 25 deliveries, contributing to DC’s record-breaking IPL score.
In his second opening stint for DC this season, 22-year-old Fraser-McGurk equaled his record for the fastest fifty of the season, achieving this feat in only 15 balls after DC was put into bat by MI.
During the IPL 2024 season, Hardik Pandya, who assumed the role of Mumbai Indians captain from Rohit Sharma, seemed visibly frustrated as his bowlers faced heavy punishment in the initial 10 overs. A video capturing Pandya’s expression of frustration circulated widely during the match.

With McGurk on strike, the Arun Jaitley Stadium witnessed a flurry of boundaries and sixes. He hammered 11 fours and six sixes, plundering 19 runs off the opening over delivered by Luke Wood. This early onslaught established the tempo as he skillfully exploited the fielding restrictions during the powerplay, accumulating a staggering 92 runs.
