Jake Fraser-McGurk has been mighty impressive in his maiden IPL season. He was not a part of the Delhi Capitals' squad for the ongoing season but was later roped in by them as Lungi Ngidi's injury replacement. The highly-rated batsman struggled to get into the playing eleven in the initial stage of the tournament but has not looked back since his debut last month.
He announced his arrival in the IPL with a 55-run knock against Lucknow Super Giants on his debut. Later, he smashed 15-ball half-centuries against Sunrisers Hyderabad as well as Mumbai Indians. So far, he has scored 309 runs in 7 matches at an average of 44 and a stunning strike rate of 235.87.
