Jake Fraser-McGurk will play for Delhi Capitals again. His salary now is INR 9 Cr. DC had to use their RTM card to bring the Aussie back. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two teams which targeted Jake Fraser-McGurk in IPL 2025 Auctions before Delhi Capitals signed him.
1) Punjab Kings
It was under Ricky Ponting at Delhi Capitals that the youngster did well. Hence, naturally, Ricky would have wanted him back in his squad. In fact, the team signed the player. DC used the RTM Card to get back him.
PBKS now has Josh Inglis as the opener. A left-hander as an opener would have been a better choice looking at the current combination.
2) Lucknow Super Giants wanted Jake Fraser-McGurk for IPL 2025
LSG is one of the teams which targeted Jake Fraser-McGurk in IPL 2025 Auctions before Delhi Capitals signed him. The squad needed an opener and hence, they wanted JFM. Surely, Justin Langer would have been behind the move.
However, LSG had to pull out early. The likes of Aiden Markram were already in the squad. Anyways, the EKANA track would have not been the ideal pitch for the youngster.
