IPL 2018: 5 overseas players who can be dark horses in the tournament

#1 Jofra Archer

He was in incredible touch throughout the BBL this year

Rajasthan Royals paid a whopping sum of Rs 7.2 crore for Jofra Archer in the auction for IPL 2018.

This bowling all-rounder became an overnight sensation in the Big Bash League this year. His dangerous pace with the ball and big-hitting prowess with the bat make him a hot prospect for any T20 franchise in league cricket.

In BBL 2018, he claimed 16 wickets in just 12 matches with an economy rate of 7.96. His lower-order capability with the bat is evident from his career strike rate, which is as high as 143.38.

This all-round ability will make him a valuable asset for the Rajasthan Royals. He is also a quick fielder and has some breathtaking catches to his name already.
