Australia\u2019s young Twenty20<\/a> batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk scored a whirlwind half century as Delhi Capitals notched a crucial 20-run win over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Fraser-McGurk, who was left out of Australia\u2019s T20 World Cup squad last week<\/a>, gave perfect momentum upfront with a 19-ball 50 as Delhi made a challenging 8-221 after Rajasthan won the toss and elected to field at a venue where all four previous games this season were won by teams batting first.<\/p>\n

The snub of Fraser-McGurk raised plenty of eyebrows in Australia and his latest feat makes the selectors' decision look all the more ridiculous.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Delhi<\/p>\n

\ufeffAustralian legend and Delhi coach Ricky Ponting was in awe of Fraser-McGurk's half ton on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffHe's hardly put a foot wrong since he's been here," Ponting told the broadcast.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI knew what he was capable of, he hasn't really surprised me with what he's done so far.<\/p>\n

"He's a great kid, got a great attitude\ufeff. We've seen what he can do with the bat, he's equally as good in the field."<\/p>\n

Captain Sanju Samson kept Rajasthan in the hunt with a blistering 86 off 46 balls with six sixes and eight boundaries but his controversial dismissal in the 16th over saw the visitors finishing at 8-201 for its third loss this season.<\/p>\n

Rajasthan has 16 points and stayed at No.2 on net run-rate behind table-topper Kolkata Knight Riders.<\/p>\n

Delhi with 12 points is tied with three other teams \u2014 Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants \u2014 as race for the playoffs gets tight.<\/p>\n
