Jake Fraser-McGurk helps DC post 257/4
Jake Fraser-McGurk has taken the Indian Premier League by storm. He smashed 84 runs off just 27 balls and put Delhi on the box seat from the first ball itself. He set the base for DC to be able to post a massive total of 257/4. After his dismissal, Shai Hope, Tristan Stubbs, and Rishabh Pant played some good knocks and provided the hosts with a much-needed finish.
“That’s my role, go out there and score as many as I can and get the team off to a nice start. Not at all, if I get ones and twos it’s probably off the last ball of the over or if I mis-hit it. It’s something I’ve always had, getting that base right and having the right stance. There’s a lot of timing involved in it. The ones that you mis-hit, you need to have a strong core, upper body and glutes as well,” said Fraser McGurk in the mid-innings interaction.
