Delhi Capitals drop Jake Fraser-McGurk from the playing XI. However, captain Axar Patel hasn’t revealed who will be replacing him at the top of the order. KL Rahul and Karun Nair remain two options for the team.
Delhi Capitals have dropped Jake Fraser-McGurk from the playing XI against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The Australia international was going through a rough patch in the cash-rich league, having scored only 55 runs in six matches so far. He was bought for INR 9 crore in the IPL 2025 mega-auction and was paired with Faf du Plessis at the top of the order. However, the South Africa international was ruled out for a while owing to an injury, and that helped Fraser-McGurk earn an extended run despite poor form.
However, against Gujarat, Delhi decided to bench him against Gujarat without naming a replacement. Captain Axar Patel mentioned that they will take a call before going out to bat. As things stand, either KL Rahul or Karun Nair is expected to open the batting alongside Abishek Porel. Notably, Rahul has already done a commendable job at the top of the order and for the same reason, he might get the opportunity.
