In the 32nd match of IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals (DC) faced Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC’s home ground. Today’s win could take DC to the top of the points table as they aim to bring the title home this year. However, DC are facing a setback as opener Jake Fraser-McGurk’s form is not going according to plan. Jofra Archer took the early wicket of Fraser-McGurk, who scored only 9 runs off 6 balls, including two fours, with a strike rate of 150.
The match against RR is not the only example of Fraser-McGurk’s poor form. He was dismissed for a golden duck in his last game against Mumbai Indians (MI). In his six matches this season, Fraser-McGurk has managed just 55 runs, averaging 9.17 with a strike rate of 105.77 — far below expectations for an aggressive top-order batter.
Despite glimpses of promising potential, his lack of consistency has raised concerns for DC’s management, especially during this crucial phase of the tournament where every game counts. With the match still underway, DC are hoping for a recovery in their top order through a much-needed victory. Meanwhile, pressure continues to mount on Fraser-McGurk to justify his place in the playing XI.
