Jofra Archer was the hot topic of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018. His performances in Australia's Big Bash T20 league had impressed everyone. The all-rounder was soon picked by Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2018 for INR 7.2 crore. His base price was only INR 40 lakhs but the bidding war among franchises made him an attraction in IPL.
Rajasthan has retained Archer for the next season. But the English county team Sussex looked more excited than him. Well, the mistake they committed while sharing the news mostly happens in excitement only. The 23-year-old plays for Sussex.
While posting the news of Archer's retention, Sussex used the picture of English cricketer Chris Jordan in their tweet. However, they soon deleted it. But Jofra was as quick as his yorkers, he captured the screenshot and roasted the Twitter account.
