Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara lavished praise on Jofra Archer’s all-round show as his 32 off 15 balls and 3-17 off four overs helped his team beat Mumbai Indians by 30 runs to enter the Playoffs at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.  

“I thought today [Sunday] it was a pretty good pitch, a little slow to start with. But the way Jofra went in and batted was outstanding. He’s actually quite a capable batter. He’s not a No. 8 [batter] really. When he puts his mind to it, he’s a proper batter. There’s a lot of power and a lot of sense [in his game] and then everyone around him [batted well].
