Delhi Capitals batter Jake Fraser-McGurk scored a half-century on his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday.

The Australian reached his fifty off 31 balls in the 14th over of Capitals’ run-chase. Interestingly, the 22-year-old’s first two scoring shots in the league were sixes – the first one a pull off Yash Thakur and the second a hoick over long-on off Arshad Khan.

Fraser-McGurk, who holds the world record for the fastest century in a one-day match – off 29 balls, was eventually dismissed for a 35-ball 55 by Naveen-ul-Haq. However, by then he had already put the game to bed and beyond Lucknow’s reach.
