KXIP had used Archer's old tweet to pull his leg over poor bowling performance.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) bowler Jofra Archer couldn't hold himself back from roasting Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) on social media. Bowling at Sharjah is tough, and Archer was hit for 46 runs in four overs without a wicket.
KXIP, after Jofra finished his spell, posted a tweet quoting his tweet which read, "unexpected gifts". They wrote "4-0-46-0 You don't see something like this from someone like Jofra so often" and added an emoji of 'Wrapped present'.

The tweet didn't turn up good for Kings XI Punjab after Rajasthan chased down 224 runs in the last over with 3 balls left. They won the match by 4 wickets and Archer had a role in it. He smashed two sixes and scored 13 runs in 3 overs.
After the match, Jofra quoted the tweet and wrote, "This aged well".
Rajasthan is unbeaten in IPL 2020 and they have won both the matches till now. Sanju Samson was the top scorer for RR with 85 runs in 42 deliveries. But it was Rahul Tewatia who hogged the limelight as he hit Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over to turn the tide in RR's favor.
In the first innings, Mayank Agarwal scored a hundred, 106 off 50 balls, and helped them pile up a huge score of 223/2. But it wasn't enough to win the match. This is the second loss for KXIP in the tournament.
