Delhi Capitals opener Jake Fraser-McGurk equalled his record of the fastest fifty of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
The right-hander reached his half-century off 15 balls with a six off leg-spinner Piyush Chawla. Fraser-McGurk had scored a 15-ball fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier in the tournament at the same venue.
The 22-year-old Australian, who scored a 35-ball 55 on IPL debut against Lucknow Super Giants, has impressed with his power-hitting at the top of the order. His strike rate, in excess of 200 over five matches in the tournament, has stood out in particular.
