World Cup 2019: Five England players India should watch out for

#2 Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer is one of the rising stars of world cricket at the moment. Before the World Cup 2019, he was rarely a part of the England squad but now he is their star performer in the tournament.

The main ability of Jofra Archer is speed. He bowls at an average speed of 145 kmph which keeps the batsmen on their toes. Every batsman in the world hates a bowler who constantly bowls at that speed. He makes bowling at 150 kmph look very easy.

Archer has been England’s main man in the bowling department. He is the second leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 16 wickets just behind Mitchell Starc. His economy rate is also just 5.04 which is impressive for a fast bowler.

Before the tournament started Archer has said that Virat Kohli is his dream wicket and the Indian skipper has also publicly acknowledged the quality of the English bowler. So the battle between one of the fastest bowlers in the tournament and one of the best batsman in the world will be a mouthwatering one.
