If there's a young batter who has captured the imagination of fans in IPL 2024, it is undoubtedly Jake Fraser-McGurk. With a high backlift, stable base, minimal footwork and wonderful bat-swing, Fraser-McGurk showed all of these qualities yet again in his sensational 27-ball 84 against Mumbai Indians, laced with 11 fours and six sixes at a strike-rate of 311.11.

"Yes, he had to wait for four-five games before getting a chance. But even when we were watching him in the nets, he had something different, that X-factor. Even here, he just opened up the game and because of his innings, we were 92 for no loss after six overs. He is a natural. If you see his set-up, he believes in a stable base. He has excellent hand speed. When you are batting in the Powerplay, you have only one fielder on the leg-side. So that's a good area to hit; even a mishit can get you a boundary," said DC assistant coach Pravin Amre in the post-match press conference.
