Rohit Sharma And Mumbai Indians May Move On From Jofra Archer? Sources revealed: In a major setback to the Mumbai Indians franchise, it has been reported that their star bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) due to an elbow injury. The injury to Archer has come as a massive blow to the Mumbai Indians, who are already grappling with the absence of their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
Bumrah was ruled out of the IPL earlier this month due to a stress fracture in his lower back, and the Mumbai Indians were already struggling to find a replacement for the Indian speedster.
Archer, who has been a key player for the Rajasthan Royals for the couple of seasons, was expected to play a major role in the Mumbai Indians‘ campaign this year. However, the England international has been struggling with an elbow injury for some time now, and the Mumbai Indians management decided to send him to Belgium for a minor surgery.

The surgery is expected to keep Archer out of action for at least four to six weeks, which means that the Mumbai Indians will have to play the remainder of the IPL without one of their key players. This could have a major impact on the team’s performance, especially in the crucial stages of the tournament.
The team has been struggling to find the right combination, and the injuries to their star players will only add to their woes. The fast bowler has been a crucial member of the England team in the shortest format of the game, and his absence could be a major setback for the team. The team will also be hoping that their captain Rohit Sharma can lead from the front with the bat and help the team make it to the playoffs.
The injury to Jofra Archer has come as a major blow to the Mumbai Indians and their chances of winning the IPL this season. The team will have to dig deep and find a way to overcome the absence of their star all-rounder and pacer if they are to make it to the playoffs.
