Watch: Jofra Archer's Imitation Of Jasprit Bumrah Leaves The Fans In Splits

Jofra Archer, the English pacer, has emerged as one of the most lethal fast bowlers across all formats in world cricket in the last couple of years. Another man sitting in that list is none other than the Indian pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, who is widely regarded as the best fast bowler in world cricket.

The Indian Premier League acts as a hub of all the world-class players playing together and against each other in the biggest T20 league competition in the world. This does not only makes room for a lot of extravagant cricket but also for a lot more fun on and off the field. On Sunday, one such hilarious moment took place when Jofra Archer, the Rajasthan Royals’ leading pacer tried to imitate Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action.

On Sunday, Rajasthan Royals were up against Mumbai Indians in match 45 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Surely the fans cherished Archer’s imitation. Jofra Archer, himself would have been very happy, especially after the game, as Rajasthan Royals cruised to an 8-wicket win over Mumbai Indians to keep their playoff hopes alive. Batting first, Mumbai Indians finished on high score of 195/5 in their 20 overs, courtesy a Hardik Pandya special.

However, Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson spoiled the party for Mumbai Indians as they stormed through the Mumbai bowling unit and chased the target with ease. Stokes smashed a scintillating century and dedicated it to his ailing father.
