Jofra Archer IPL Story: 59 wickets in 52 bowling innings, 20.64 strike rate, 7.89 economy – Rajasthan Royals’ turbo-charged pacer has been the league’s most feared speed merchant since debuting in 2018. Across five seasons Archer has sent down 1 218 balls, conceding only 1 602 runs while striking at better than a wicket every three overs. Seven three-wicket bursts highlight his ability to break partnerships at will, and with a top haul of 3 for he rarely leaves the opposition unscathed. While Archer’s primary role is with ball in hand, his late-order fireworks add hidden value: 262 runs from 178 balls, a strike-rate of 147, and 18 towering sixes—more maximums than fours—make him a genuine two-phase threat. His unbeaten 30 stands as the highest among cameos that have swung momentum in RR’s favour. After a brief 2023 stint with Mumbai Indians, Archer returned to Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, bringing back the pace and precision that once terrorised batsmen at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Expect more thunderbolts and quick runs as Archer continues to redefine the modern fast bowler’s role in the world’s biggest T20 league.
