“He is one of those people …”: Delhi Capital captain Exer Patel, on the big revelation of the team partner

Talking to Axer Patel is like talking to one of his best friends instead of a cricket team captain, said Jake Fraser-Maikgurak, an opener of Delhi Capital (DC). Exer has made a bright start for his life as a DC skipper, now in second place in the points table, six out of eight through winning. Fraser-Mackguraq is out of the eleven of playing DC after a tough run and recalled how he got some comfort by talking to Exer. Exer is one of the players who lead everyone, and everyone chases him, I think. He is a wonderful talent, and the way he plays is really proud of everyone in the capitals of Delhi. ,

“He is very calm and relaxing at any time. We saw during that super in some games, he was very relaxed and very calm, as he has done it a thousand times, but I am not sure how many times he has done. We like to play under Exer, and we think he is one of the best players in our team, and he can be a leader.”

“The conversation was taking a lot of rest. We were having dinner after a game, and he said, you have a lot of opportunities. There are so many times that you play for this franchise and you can succeed for us. The good thing is that we are winning well and we are winning in ways we want to win.”

“So what he says is just smiling. He always tells everyone to keep smiling, not only me. He is one of those people who are resting in all these situations. It seems that you are talking to one of your best friends instead of captain, and he is great.

Fraser-Macgurg has not come close to copying his amazing success since last season, scoring just 55 runs in six matches, which has a strike rate of 9.16 and 105.76 on an average. The rest of the scores have been in single digits, except for 38 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Visakhapatnam.

“I like to score some more runs next to my name, but the way cricket happens. You go through higher and you go through climbing, and I think the IPL has personally seen it for me in both years. You saw last year, and now you are watching this year. I think the most important thing is that you are not going well, whether you are not going well,”

“Obviously, my role as a batsman is to bring the team to a good beginning. But this does not mean that I have to try every ball for six. I am really working hard through my and my coaches and all my people around me, so how can I come back to that team and succeed?” He said.

Fraser-Macgurak, who was in a lean run with Australia in white-ball cricket and the Big Bash League (BBL) admitted that he is not the best person living at a level level as poor batting. But to attract his attention to get one percent right, it is keeping him in good condition.

“This is very clear, not this? It’s not very good this year, but you can’t get a lot of results and results in this game, otherwise you will not find anywhere.

“This is the game – this is T20 cricket. It is going to happen. Not everyone is going out and every time is going to hit 50 balls on 20 balls.

“It seems a bit to learn to do this, but I think you are trying to focus on myself and as much as you can in the gym can be as professional, and doing everything like a bottlenever. So when you can be selected or selected after falling, you have done everything you are ready for the next chance,” they expanded.

Asked about the difference between coach Ricky Ponting and playing under Hemung Badani, Fraser-Macgurk realized that there is not much really much to work under both of them. “Obviously, Ricky is one of the best for Australia to do it. I have also worked in Dubai Capital under Hemang, so it’s nothing new.”

“He is a terrible coach, and Matthew Mot, our batting coach, and with everyone, coaching staff around him. I go and talk to him a lot. It’s not very different. Ricky is not very different. Ricky is a wonderful coach and a wonderful player. I loved playing under him, but Hemang is just that,” he said.
