IPL 2018, MI vs RR: 4  Reasons why Mumbai lost against Rajasthan

#2 Jofra Archer’s stupendous spell

Jofra Archer’s superb bowling has been a major factor in the revival of Rajasthan in this year’s IPL. Ever since his debut, he has bowled his heart out for the Royals. Today as well, Archer executed a dream spell, giving away just 16 runs and picking up 2 vital wickets. Archer was a bit unlucky at the start as Stuart Binny dropped an easy catch off his bowling in his first over.

However, Archer came back strongly in his 2nd over by picking up the wickets of Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma on consecutive balls and turning the match on its head. Archer was superb at the death as he gave away just 9 runs of his remaining 2 overs at the death.
