[Watch] Jofra Archer cheers on MI teammate Jasprit Bumrah while watching 2nd IND vs SL Test
England pacer Jofra Archer was captured on camera cheering on his Mumbai Indians teammate Jasprit Bumrah while watching the second Test between India and Sri Lanka.
Bumrah went on to pick up his first five-wicket haul in Sri Lanka's first innings with the bat and helped India gain a 143-run lead.
At last month's IPL mega auction, Mumbai Indians purchased Jofra Archer for INR 8 crore. Since then, fans of the Mumbai-based franchise have been eagerly waiting for the Bumrah-Archer duo to bowl in tandem in the IPL.
They might have to wait until next year as Jofra Archer will most likely miss IPL 2022 due to fitness issues.
Mumbai Indians recently gave their fans a pleasant surprise by sharing a video on their official Instagram handle. In the video, fans can see Archer following India's Test against Sri Lanka.
