Mumbai Indians speedster Jofra Archer expressed delight over the opportunity of representing the franchise in the Indian Premier League.
He is likely to miss the upcoming IPL 2022 after having undergone two surgeries to treat an elbow injury. He is however looking forward to playing for Mumbai in the future.
Just like the butter on top of your Pav Bhaji…😋🤌

Jofra Archer told the Mumbai Indians’ official website:
“I am really excited to get started with MI – it is a great franchise. Mahela Jayawardene was one of my first coaches, we have the likes of Polly – I have played a few games against him, this is probably the first time I will play with him. I am hoping to start winning games and trophies soon.”
Archer said:
“MI looks very close-knit and family-oriented and such teams always do well. That’s why it is no surprise that we have won five titles. Polly’s been there 10 years, Malinga was there a long time, the same with Rohit too.”
