In a crucial IPL 2026 match, Jofra Archer delivered an outstanding performance for the Rajasthan Royals, leading them to a 30-run victory over the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. Archer contributed significantly with both bat and ball, scoring 32 runs off 15 balls and taking 3 wickets for 17 runs. Despite his impressive all-round display, he humbly stated that he does not consider this his best season, mentioning he has bowled better in the past. The transformation in his bowling came after receiving direct instructions from the coaching staff, who advised him to abandon slower deliveries and focus on maintaining high pace. This change simplified his approach and proved effective against Mumbai, where he dismissed key players like Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. Archer also shared his surprise at being promoted up the batting order due to a middle-order wobble, expressing satisfaction with his contributions. After a minor slip while fielding, he reassured fans of his fitness, stating, 'I'm very good right now, touchwood.'
