#3 Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer was bought by Rajasthan Royals at the auction for a jaw-dropping price of Rs. 7.20 crores. Archer suffered an injury before the IPL and missed the initial part of the tournament. But strangely, Rajasthan Royals preferred D'Arcy Short and Ben Laughlin over Archer even when he was fit to play.

The Royals finally selected the all-rounder in their sixth match and that brought instant success to them. Archer contributed massively to the team's victory against Mumbai Indians.

He has continued his good form since then. In the four matches that he has played so far, he has taken 8 wickets at an average of 15.25. Apart from this, Archer has troubled most of the batsmen with his raw pace.

He has also shown promise with the bat. Rajasthan Royals would have fared much better if Archer was picked right from the beginning.
