3 teams that might target Jofra Archer for IPL 2025 auction
Rajasthan Royals
Archer represented RR from 2018 to 2020. His potential return will help RR pair him with Sandeep Sharma to form a strong with Sandeep’s swing and Archer’s fearsome pace. Archer’s presence will also add an extra depth to the Rajasthan’s batting lineup. If bought, Archer can help players like Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel in strongly finishing the innings.
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings will enter the auction with the highest purse of INR 110.5 crores as they have retained only two players, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh. Having the opportunity to rebuild almost the whole squad, PBKS can form their bowling unit around Archer. After releasing Arshdeep Singh, Archer’s possible addition will help Punjab resolve their death bowling woes.
Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans have not retained any fast bowlers before the IPL 2025 mega auction. Gujarat, who have released Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma, will enter the auction with their eyes set on premium pace bowling options. Archer’s possible inclusion will pair him with spin-bowling all-rounder Rashid Khan, giving GT high-quality eight overs.
