Delhi Capitals replace Jake Fraser-McGurk with Bangladesh pacer
Written By: Mobin
Delhi Capitals replace Jake Fraser-McGurk with Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman for ₹6 crore - making him the most expensive Bangladeshi in IPL history!
Signing
Fraser-McGurk exits IPL 2025 due to personal reasons after scoring just 55 runs in 6 matches. DC needed a strong replacement for playoff push.
Reason
Mustafizur brings 61 IPL wickets from 57 matches (8.14 economy). The left-arm pacer previously played for CSK and DC, with a best of 4/12.
Experience
The 28-year-old was BPL 2025's leading wicket-taker for Dhaka (13 wickets). His clever cutters could be lethal on Delhi's slow pitches.
Form
This marks Mustafizur's third stint with DC (2022-23). CSK released him after 14 wickets last season despite his four-wicket heroics.
History
DC (5th with 6 wins) face GT on May 18 in must-win game. Mustafizur's death bowling could be crucial for their playoff qualification.
Challenge
A strategic replacement! Mustafizur's IPL experience and current form might give DC the edge they need in tight playoff race.
