Archer is one of the fastest bowlers going around in IPL and he can have a enormous affect with the ball for any franchise. He has picked up 46 wickets in 35 IPL recreations so distant at an normal of 21.3 and has an amazing economy rate of 7.13 in spite of bowling the intense overs. He has the capacity to bowl a few astonishing conveyances with the modern ball and gets his yorkers in towards the passing overs.

“I want people to know that if you don’t play you don’t get paid. I want people to see me as a player and not as a price like that behind me. You only got that money because other teams wanted you. It looks very close knit. Akash (Ambani, the owner of the franchise) called and we spoke about Arsenal – I don’t know why he likes Arsenal. It is very a close knit team,” Archer was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
