Delhi Capitals (DC) opener David Warner backed his teammate Jake Fraser-McGurk as the new Test opener for Australia after his splendid innings in the IPL 2024 clash against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday, April 27.
Fraser-McGurk was brutal with his willow as he unleashed an assault on MI bowlers after DC was put to bat first by the visitors. The youngster started hitting from the word go and raced to half-century in just 15 balls, making him the third-joint fastest to score fifty in the history of IPL.
Jake Fraser-McGurk played phenomenal innings of 84 off 27 balls at an astounding strike rate of 311.11. His knock consisted of 11 fours and 6 sixes, and missed a well-deserved century by 16 runs. Three sixes in a row would have made him script history by becoming the joint-fastest to a century in the IPL.
Impressed by his Fraser-McGurk’s innings, David Warner wants Australia to look at him as a new opener in Test cricket. Taking to his Instagram story, the southpaw wrote, “When Australia need a new Test Opener give him a crack. @jakefm23”
