Jake Fraser-McGurk, the young hurricane batter tipped to become David Warner's white-ball successor for Australia, gave a brief demonstration why as he stepped in to replace his injured hero with another winning cameo for Delhi Capitals.
The 22-year-old has been the talk of the IPL since blitzing 55 on his debut against the Lucknow Super Giants last week and with Warner's injured finger sidelining him on Wednesday, Fraser-McGurk, promoted to open against Gujarat Titans, delivered another brilliant cameo.
This time, it was a shorter demonstration over just two overs - but it didn't need to be any longer than that after Delhi's bowlers had skittled Gujarat for just 89, their smallest ever total, after putting them in to bat, with only Rashid Khan's 31 bailing them out.
