A Tough Comeback for Jofra Archer in IPL 2025

Jofra Archer’s return to the IPL didn’t go as he had hoped, and it turned into a tough day for him. He was badly hit by Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Ishan Kishan and Travis Head.

In fact, Archer set an unwanted record by giving up the most runs in IPL history against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad on March 23. Archer bowled four overs, conceding 76 runs (4-0-76-0) as SRH posted a huge total of 286/6 against Rajasthan Royals in the second match of IPL 2025.

Jofra Archer’s Performance Shatters IPL Bowling Records

After being hammered so badly, Archer set the record for the most expensive spell in IPL history. The England bowler broke Mohit Sharma’s record from last season, where he had conceded 73 runs against Delhi Capitals, to become the most expensive bowler in IPL history.

Archer’s tough day started early in the powerplay when Travis Head hit him for 23 runs in one over, with a mix of fours and a huge six. It only got worse from there as Ishan Kishan hit three massive sixes in Archer’s third over.

By the time Archer bowled his final over, it was a disaster. He gave up five boundaries, including a waist-high no-ball that raced away for four byes.
