IPL 2025: Team-wise worst pick of the season

6. Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC/Delhi Capitals)

This was one of the weirdest seasons for the Delhi Capitals (DC), where at one point they were among the favourites to win the tournament, but suddenly had a downfall in the second half. Some players within the Delhi franchise were backed to the limit but failed to make vital contributions. One of the players was the Australian opener, Jake Fraser-McGurk.

The Australian, who was one of their upcoming stars last season, had one of the best strike rates of the year. However, he failed to make much of an impact this season. Jake-McGurk played six games and scored only 55 runs at an average of 9.16 and had a strike rate of 105.76.

5. Mohammed Shami (SRH/Sunrisers Hyderabad)

The Sunrisers Hyderabad might have had a powerful batting line-up, but their bowling attack struggled a lot this year. One of the bowlers who faced the music was veteran pacer and 2022 IPL champion and the 2023 Purple Cap winner, Mohammed Shami.

Shami was roped into the squad for INR 10 crore but had one of his worst seasons in the tournament. The Bengal pacer could only take six wickets in the nine matches he played at an average of 56.16 and had a high economy of 11.23.
