Rajasthan Royals posted a funny video of a dubbed version of their players meeting Mumbai Indians cricketers ahead of their crucial clash on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium. In the video, England’s white-ball captain and RR’s opener was seen meeting Jordan who was donning the Mumbai Indians’ training session.
Jordan has played 28 matches in IPL and has claimed 27 wickets. Despite having a big reputation as a T20I specialist for England, Jordan has failed to make a mark in IPL. He made his IPL debut in 2016 which was his best season where he claimed 11 wickets in 9 matches,
The five-time IPL champions are struggling in the bowling department as they are missing the services of Jasprit Bumrah. While their other leading pacer Jofra Archer is also struggling with the injury and has played just two matches this season.
MI head coach Mark Boucher has confirmed that Archer went to Belgium for a ‘minor surgery’ midway this season but he is available for selection.
“Yes, he was (in Belgium for surgery). I believe it was a minor surgery. I think he went for a day. As far as I know, Jof is available for selection,” he said.
