Delhi Capitals’ Jake Fraser-McGurk smashed Rajasthan Royals’ Avesh Khan for 28 runs in an over during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on May 7. Fraser-McGurk hit Avesh for four fours and two sixes in the over. He also brought up his fifty off just 19 balls. The 28 runs are the joint-most by an opener in an over in the ongoing season.
The dashing opener from Australia, however, got out in the very next over when he chipped a full toss ball Ravi Ashwin towards the extra cover region. Nonetheless, his blistering innings gave a nice platform for Delhi to keep charging. The DC batters also obliged, finishing 78/2 in the first six overs before posting 221/8 in 20 overs.
After Fraser-McGurk got out, his opening partner Abhishek Porel kept the innings going. Porel eventually got out after scoring 65 off 36 balls – his first fifty in the IPL. By the time Porel got out DC had scored 144 runs in 12.4 overs. After Porel, Rishabh Pant (15 off 13), Gulbadin Naib (19 off 15) and Tristian Stubbs took DC past 200.
It was, however, Stubbs’ 20-ball 41 runs innings which ensured the Capitals have a good score to bowl at. For Royals, Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3/28 in four overs. Apart from him, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma and Yuzvendra Chahal took one wicket each.
DC are currently fighting to stay alive in the race of the playoffs. Before the game against Royals, they had played 11 matches in the league, winning five and losing six. They are sixth on the points table with 10 points.
