Rajasthan Royals secure Jofra Archer for Rs 12.50 crore in IPL auction

In the IPL auction, Rajasthan Royals successfully acquired Jofra Archer for Rs 12.50 crore after a lengthy bidding process. Archer, who is returning from injury, previously played for the Royals in 2020 and was named the Most Valuable Player that season. This marks a significant development for the Royals, as they had not secured any players during the first five hours of the auction. Archer's return is expected to strengthen the team's bowling lineup. The IPL 2025 mega auction continues to attract attention as teams look to build competitive squads for the upcoming season.
