Finally, it was Rajasthan Royals that managed to acquire the talented West Indian for a massive INR 7.2 crores. The amount invested has already started to reap fruits for the RR as Jofra Archer troubled the MI batsmen in his debut match picking up 3 crucial wickets and bagging the Man of the Match award as well. He was economical, giving away just 22 runs in his quota of 4 overs.

The RR and its fans would be hoping to see more match-winning performances from him.
