Delhi Capitals dropped Jake Fraser-McGurka from their XI playing for the IPL 2025 match against the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, April 19. The change came only the day after the head coach Hemang Badani publicly supported an Australian young man and said that the capitals had faith in him despite his bad form.
Delhi Capitals built only two overseas players – Tristan Stubbs and Mitchell Starc – for their afternoon accessories against the Titans on a hot day in Ahmedabad.

Jake Fraser-McGurk managed only 55 runs in six matches on average less than 10. His choice of shot remained a lot that would be desirable, with Fraser-McGurk often appears a goal.
The young dough also tolerated the disappointed series Odi against Sri Lanka in February, before entering IPL. Previously, in the season 23 -year -old man scored only 188 runs in 10 matches during the Big Bash League 2024-25 campaign.
Delhi Capitals showed a considerable faith in Fraser-McGurk, which during its debut season IPL in 2024 had a significant impact and has seen 330 runs in the last six months. Despite this, Delhi has used his right to compare the card to secure her services for? 9 crore.
Capitals continued with Fraser-McGurk in the absence of FAF du Plessis, which was pushed for injury. This season, Du Plessis performed only in three matches, with his last performance on April 10.
The decision to abandon Fraser-McGurk only the day after the coach publicly approved it, raises questions about the brightness in the coaching unit-group, which otherwise looked coherent and well prepared this season.
“It is someone who gives us a massive beginning and someone we believe is the winner of the match. Yes, the numbers this year was not the best compared to last year, but we, as a party, believe it is someone who will probably be a player who can always come to us,” Badani said on Friday.
“His presence in XI also gives us freedom to keep him on his side because of our position at the moment with five wins in six games; just gives us a pillow to have someone like him in XI, and if they fire for us, it’s happy for us,” he added.
