IPL 2022: 5 Players who can play in Jofra Archer’s spot for MI

After the iconic mega auction, the fans were left in shock as MI decided to go after Jofra Archer. The English speedster has been injured since last year but this did not hamper his value in the mega auction. As Archer is unavailable for the 2022 season, some fans do not like the idea of him being a part of the MI squad.

It will be interesting to see who will come in as the second seamer of the side. There is no doubt that Jasprit Bumrah will be the face of the bowling attack. But, there needs to be someone who can assist him perfectly. Even though MI looks a bit weak on paper, they can make a great team out of the limited resources they have. Hence, for MI fans, there is no need to worry. Here we have put down-

5 players who can play in Jofra Archer’s spot for IPL 2022

5. Fabian Allen

Even though MI doesn’t have the services of Jofra Archer, they do have a talented all-rounder in the form of Fabian Allen. The Windies all-rounder has been a regular member of the national side. But, when it comes to the IPL, he has not received enough chances to prove himself.

In four IPL games, Allen has picked up a single wicket and has given away 90 runs. Even though the economy rate is understandable, he could have performed much better. This is because, in T20Is, Allen has a decent economy rate of 7.44.

With the bat, Allen has a strike rate of 136.92. This clearly shows his ability to accelerate the innings when required. Hopefully, Rohit Sharma will utilize his talent wisely.
