Match 43 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) witnessed DC opener Jake Fraser-McGurk go on a rampage at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Dealing solely in boundaries, Jake achieved his half-century in just 15 balls. However, his onslaught didn't cease as he continued to attack the MI bowlers. Finally, it was the experienced spinner Piyush Chawla who brought the carnage to an end.
Chawla delivered a length ball on the middle leg, which turned back into Jake, further cramping him for room. Jake attempted to heave it over deep mid-wicket but ended up hitting the inner part of the bat. Mohammad Nabi, stationed there, made an easy catch. Nevertheless, before his dismissal, Jake had inflicted significant damage, scoring 84 runs in just 27 balls, smashing 11 fours and 6 maximums.
It was Jake who propelled his side to 92 runs in the Powerplay, contributing 78 runs himself.
