The clip has gone viral on social media, with fans sharing it and speculating about Archer's potential return. The sight of the right-arm fast bowler bowling left-arm spin has also left fans bewildered. Archer's versatility as a cricketer is well-known, but this display has taken things to another level.
Archer, a big miss for MI
Archer played in Mumbai's opening match of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore, where he picked up two wickets in his four overs. However, he has been sidelined due to a minor injury ever since. Mumbai's head coach, Mark Boucher, had earlier revealed that Archer was being looked after by the team's medical staff.
"He (Archer) has picked up a little niggle, and we have a fantastic medical team looking after him. He's obviously a massive player for us as well, so hopefully, you know they can pass him fit sometime soon," Boucher had said after Mumbai's match against Chennai Super Kings.
While Archer's absence has been felt by Mumbai, the team has still managed to win one of their two matches without him. However, they will be hoping to have him back in the side soon, given his importance to the team's fortunes. Archer's pace and ability to bowl in the death overs make him a crucial player for Mumbai Indians.
The video of Archer bowling left-arm spin has only added to the excitement among fans. While it remains to be seen if he will make a comeback in Mumbai's next match, his versatility and talent continue to make him one of the most exciting players in world cricket.
