Jasprit Bumrah is currently considered the best bowler in the world. The reason behind this is his ability to take wickets on any pitch and condition. Bumrah has tremendous control with pace and swing, which has been praised by many great cricketers of the world. On the basis of this ability, he helped India win the T20 World Cup 2024 and himself became the Player of the Tournament. In such a situation, Bumrah, whose ball batsmen are afraid to even touch, was beaten badly by a 22-year-old young batsman in the IPL. Despite facing him for the first time, he scored 18 runs in a single over.

We are talking here about Jake Fraser McGurk. Now he has made his T20 debut for Australia.

Debut against Scotland

Australia's team entered the T20 World Cup with experienced players. However, Team India stopped them from progressing by defeating them in the Super-8. Now the team is thinking about the future. Therefore, the management has started giving priority to young players. Against Scotland, captain Mitchell Marsh has given a T20 debut to Jake Fraser McGurk, who created a stir with his bat in the IPL. McGurk had earlier made his ODI debut against West Indies in February.

He has played 2 ODI matches so far. In these two matches, he has scored 51 runs at a strike rate of 221.

Batting at a strike rate of 234 in IPL

McGurk batted brilliantly throughout the season of IPL 2024. He hit a six off the first ball of the tournament's most economical and most lethal bowler Bumrah. This 22-year-old Australian batsman got a chance to play 9 matches in the last season of IPL, in which he batted at a strike rate of 234. In the entire season, he scored 330 runs at an average of 36. During this, he hit 28 sixes and 32 fours.

McGurk did in his very first IPL what no batsman could do in 17 seasons.

In fact, he scored 4 half-centuries. He scored 3 fifties in less than 20 balls. He is the first player to do so in IPL. Before him, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard and Nicholas Pooran had scored two fifties in 20 balls in the same season.
