Mumbai Indians bought England pacer Jofra Archer for Rs 8 crore on Sunday, February 13, 2022, on the second day of the Indian Premier League Mega Auction 2022.
Archer, however, is unlikely to play this season as he continues his recovery from elbow surgery. He is recovering from a second operation on his injured elbow. The
26-year old has placed himself in the top bracket of potential recruits with a base price of Rs 2 crore.
Archer’s former club Rajasthan Royals and MI were involved in a bidding war to sign the pacer but RR pulled out after the bid crossed Rs. 6.25 Cr. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) also joined the bidding before MI took their prize.
