In a thrilling chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Delhi Capitals (DC) found an unlikely hero in young Australian sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk. After losing their openers early in pursuit of a daunting 267-run target, Fraser-McGurk launched a stunning assault against SRH bowler Washington Sundar, plundering an astonishing 30 runs in a single over.
It was the third over of the innings, with Sundar bowling his second over, when Fraser-McGurk unleashed his onslaught. He punished Sundar for three boundaries and three massive sixes, with five of them piercing the offside and one soaring over long-on.
Beginning with two short balls dispatched to the boundary, Fraser-McGurk then lofted one downtown for a maximum before driving another past extra cover. With remarkable precision, he followed up with two more sixes – one over deep extra and another charging down the pitch for a lofted hit over long-off.
