Young Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk’s poor form with the bat did not stop, as he got out on a duck against Chennai Super Kings. The right-hander has been struggling to get runs for almost a year; he has totally failed in international matches, BBL, and now his poor form continues in the IPL as well. So far he has just scored one 30-plus score and could not even cross single digits in other matches. He made his IPL debut in the 2024 edition, coming in as a replacement, and he took the whole season by storm with his destructive batting. He smashed some of the best bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah, with ease and turned the fortunes of Delhi Capitals, who were struggling to win. The arrival of the explosive batter brought positivity into the camp, and they started winning games. Jake ended his season with 330 runs in just 9 innings at a staggering strike rate of 234. Based on his outstanding performance in IPL 2024, DC showered a lot of money to bring the young opener back into the squad. Delhi Capitals engaged in intense bidding wars with several teams and eventually sealed the deal at a whopping amount of ₹9 crore.
