Jofra Archer earns INR 1.30 crores per wicket in IPL for Rajasthan Royals

Jofra Archer of Rajasthan Royals earned a huge pay of INR 1.30 crores per wicket for his performance in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). Archer had made a cricketing return in the Indian Premier League after many months out of action due to his injury.

Despite persistent injury worries, Jofra Archer made a spectacular comeback to the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 auction, selling for ₹12.50 crore. Archer was picked up by his former team after being added late to the final auction list, after being previously disqualified because the ECB had not given him his NOC.

Archer had previously appeared for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023, playing only 5 games before an elbow injury cut short his tournament. He didn’t enter the IPL 2024 auction as the ECB refused to allow him due to his rehab. He, however, entered the IPL 2025 mega auction due to a new BCCI rule and was picked by RR.

Archer formed the crux of the Rajasthan Royals' bowling unit. He struggled early on, even registering the most expensive bowling figures in IPL history, giving away 76 runs in his 4 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

However, he hit his stride and pace in the middle of the IPL 2025 and ended up with 11 wickets in 12 games for RR at an economy of 9.47 and best figures of 3/15.

Jofra Archer's price per dismissal in the IPL 2025, after taking 11 wickets in 12 games, is Rs 1.13 crore, highlighting the significant investment teams make in elite fast bowling in contemporary T20 cricket.

The Rajasthan Royals made a significant investment despite concerns over Jofra Archer's condition, depending on his track record with the squad and his capacity to perform under pressure.

Archer is an asset in T20s for every team he plays for. He has 214 wickets in 175 matches in the format with a best of 4/18 and an economy of 7.91.
