He has had a forgettable IPL 2025 season so far.
Delhi Capitals (DC) player Jake Fraser-McGurk is unlikely to return to India for the rest of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. According to a report in Cricbuzz, the Australian batter was “totally disturbed” by the events that took place in Dharamshala on May 8.
The IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Dharamshala on May 8 was abandoned due to a floodlight failure. Amid the ongoing political tensions, Pakistan had launched drone attacks in parts of Jammu just minutes before the floodlights went off in Dharamshala.
Spectators were evacuated from the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, whereas players were taken to a safe zone. The players of both Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals travelled to Jalandhar from Dharamshala by road, and from there they travelled to Delhi by train.
Other overseas players, including the South African duo of Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs, are however likely to feature for Delhi Capitals for the rest of IPL 2025.
