Mumbai Indians: 5 players worth bidding for in IPL Auction 2018

#4 Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer — remember the name

For the last couple of seasons, Mumbai Indians have had the perfect death bowling duo in Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah. However, now Malinga is well past his best and Mumbai will be on the lookout for a death bowler to accompany Jasprit Bumrah.

Jofra Archer could very well be the perfect match for this demand. This young West Indian fast bowling all-rounder from Barbados has mesmerized many by his extraordinary performance for Hobart Hurricanes in the BBL|07. He is the second highest wicket-taker in the ongoing BBL|07 with 15 wickets in 9 matches (stats as on 25 January).

Alloyed with that, is his ability to hit big shots low down the order. These facts only go to show that this 22-year-old can be a great asset for Mumbai Indians, were the team to give him the chance, and it would not hurt the team at all to acquire this emerging West Indian fresh blood.
