"That's my role, go out there try and get as many as I can in the powerplay" - DC opener Jake Fraser-McGurk after his 84-run knock vs MI in IPL 2024 contest
At the mid-innings break, DC opener Jake Fraser-McGurk reflected on the action that unfolded during the first innings and his batting performance, saying:
"That's my role, go out there try and get as many as I can in the powerplay, get the team off to a good start and good that I could do it today. Not at all, if I get one's or two's, it's probably the last ball of the over or a mishit."
Jake added:
"I feel like, it's something I've always had, getting that base right and having the right stance is important, just try and stay still to have a good swing. Lot of timing involved, the one's you mishit, have a nice strong core in the upper body and lot of what I do in the gym."
