New Delhi [India], April 27 : Following the victory against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant hailed the young Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk over his match-winning performance.
Fraser-McGurk's powerful knock, followed by Rasikh Dar Salam, Mukesh Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed's supercharged pace attack helped DC defeat MI by 10 runs in their IPL 2024 match here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
The wicketkeeper-batter asserted that the side was happy after putting 250 runs on the board.
"We were pretty happy with 250 on the board but with the impact sub, it is getting difficult each and every day. Definitely, I can do that (come up to the stumps) but the bowler also should be confident...He (Fraser-McGurk) has been amazing since the first day and this is what you want from a younger player, he's getting better and better with each game. The chances (of making it to the playoffs) are increasing day by day, but we are taking it one game at a time," Pant said in the post-match presentation.
