Fans on the internet tore apart Jofra Archer after he got hit for 76 runs in his four-over spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The RR pacer was smacked left, right and center by Travis Head and other SRH batters as he bowled a costly spell.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2025 clash turned out to be an absolute run fest. SRH opener Travis Head unleashed carnage to slam 67 runs off just 31 balls.

Nitish Reddy joined the party with 30 off 15 balls before Ishan Kishan stole the show with a powerful century off just 45 balls.

Jofra Archer Gets Roasted On The Internet After Expensive Spell

Meanwhile, RR bowlers were having an absolute nightmare outing. Jofra Archer, the highly rated pacer, faced the most heat as he got smacked for 76 runs in his four over spell, scripting the unwanted record of bowling the most expensive spell in history of IPL.

Archer faced the brunt of Head as he slammed 23 runs in his 18th over. Meanwhile, fans on social media trolled Archer for his shambolic performance. Some fans argued that the fast bowler hasn’t been good enough since he got injured a few years back.

"Jofra Archer, the superstar pacer… reduced to a mere spectator when Travis Head was batting. Ball returned to him only after Head walked back. That’s not just form, that’s Head’s Aura!" - @academy_dinda

"tbh jofra archer is a just bowling machine that has a run up." - @thephukdi

"Jofra Archer hasn’t been the same since he scammed the Ambanis!" - @iShivani_Shukla

"Jofra Archer was better when he was injured and everyone was thinking he'd have been a goat of something." - @PsyfeR888

"Jofra Archer right now." - @StanMSD

RR made a bold move to buy Jofra Archer in IPL 2025 mega auction, parting ways with Trent Bount. However, if Archer continues to bowl such expensive spells, the decision could prove to be disastrous in hindsight.

Meanwhile, with Ishan Kishan’s century, SRH scripted the second highest total in IPL history to put 286 runs on the board at the first 20 overs.
