The Kolkata Knight RideÂrs (KKR) bowler Mitchell Starc beat Jake Fraser-McGurk in the current Indian PreÂmier League (IPL) 2024 match against the Delhi Capitals on Monday (April 29). Starc was the opening bowleÂr for KKR. Fraser-McGurk is also from Australia like Starc.
VenkateÂsh Iyer made a great low catch at the deep square-leÂg area. This catch gave Starc his first wicket of that part of the match. Mitchell Starc throws the ball very fast with his left arm.
The dismissal occurred in the third over of the innings, when Mitchell Starc came on. After singles on the opening two balls of the innings, Fraser-McGurk smacked ten runs off the next two deliveries, including a six and a four.
The Australian hitter attempted to hit another huge one but was unsuccessful because Venkatesh Iyer did not make a mistake at deep.
You can watch the catch below:
Fraser-McGurk is a crickeÂter who made his big game deÂbut against the Lucknow Super Giants team. He played very well in this gameÂ.
Fraser-McGurk is a right-handed batter. He hit a match-winning half-century in his first game. But his best game came against the Mumbai Indians team. He hit 84 runs in just 27 balls against Mumbai Indians. This big score helped his teÂam score a huge total of 257 runs in 20 overs.
Mitchell Starc missed KKR’s match against Punjab Kings due to a finger injury
Due to a finger injury, the Knight Riders benched the Australian speedster for the game against PBKS in favor of Dushmantha Chameera, who had replaced Gus Atkinson in the lineup. Starc, who returned for Chameera against the Capitals, has struggled from the start, with only five wickets and an economy rate of well above ten.
The Knight Riders are coming off a devastating setback to the Punjab Kings in their previous encounter, where they failed to defend 261 in 20 overs.
Jonny Bairstow’s whirlwind century, combined with half-centuries from Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh, sparked the highest-ever run chase in T20 cricket history. Punjab too reached their goal with eight wickets and 10 balls to spare.
