These days Big Bash League (BBL) is being played in Australia. Players from all over the world are seen in this popular T-20 league. The play-off matches of this season of BBL are to be played soon, although the bat of Australia's 22-year-old stormy batsman Jack Fraser McGurk has not roared yet. He has earlier attracted the attention of the fans with his strong game but in the current season of BBL, Jack Fraser is failing miserably. May their BBL failure befall IPL team Delhi Capitals. Because DC has bought him for a huge amount for IPL 2025.

McGurk could not even score 100 runs in 9 matches

Australia's young batsman McGurk is the opening batsman. He is playing for Melbourne Renegades in BBL. However, his performance was not as per expectations. He could not even score 100 runs in 9 matches. So far he has scored only 93 runs in 9 innings of 9 matches. In the recent season of BBL, his average is only 10.33. His highest score is 26 runs. McGurk has only 11 boundaries in his name which include 7 fours and 4 sixes.

DC bought for IPL 2025 for 9 crores

After failure in BBL, McGurk has to play in Indian Premier League (IPL). McGurk will have the responsibility of performing brilliantly in this biggest T-20 league of the world. Because Delhi Capitals has given him a huge amount for IPL 2025. McGurk was a part of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. But he was not retained by the team before the IPL 2025 auction. However, during the auction, DC had added him using RTM card. Delhi bought this young batsman for Rs 9 crore. If Fraser's similar performance continues in IPL then Delhi may have to suffer a big loss. Because being the opening batsman, he will be burdened with responsibilities.

There was a stir in IPL 2024

Fraser has made a splash in IPL 2024. He made a lot of headlines in his very first IPL season with his strong performance for DC. During this period, 330 runs were scored from his bat in 9 innings of 9 matches. He hit 32 fours and 28 sixes. The highest score of the young batsman was 84 runs.
