A few days ago Jofra Archer put his name on the list of the mega auction after a delay. However, he is currently suffering from an injury, and may not be available to play for the 2022 season. Mumbai, completely aware of the situation, went hard on him in the auction and got him for a steal at a price of 8 crores. Even if he is not available this season, this was a smart move by the Mumbai management.
Pairing him with another world-great Jasprit Bumrah will be a great duo for the 2023 season. Mumbai was not very active throughout the event but has been so for the accelerated auction. Apart from Archer, Mumbai also got a few other players in the round. Tim David, Tymal Mills, and Daniel Sams are the other players they purchased.
Archer last played competitive cricket in 2021 and has been suffering from the injury for a long time. The internet reactions were outstanding despite him not being available to play this season. Many suggested getting done with this season as soon as possible so that they could see him play the next time.
Here are some Twitter reactions
मुम्बई को ट्रॉफी अभी दे दो @JofraArcher +@Jaspritbumrah93 ..

Jofra Archer at 8 crores to Mumbai Indians is the steal of the auction! 😯😯
All the other 9 teams try to win the IPL this year. Next year onwards, it will be the Bumrah- Archer show! 😂😂

Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah together at Mumbai Indians in 2023 and beyond - arguably the two best T20 quicks in the world. Looks typically smart from Mumbai sacrificing a bit in season 1 of the cycle to be stronger after
