As of April 26, 36 matches have been played in IPL 2023. However, shocking news has emerged about a player from Mumbai Indians. According to reports, he went to Belgium in the middle of the IPL 2023 season and underwent minor surgery for an injury before returning to India to continue playing in the tournament. This player is known for his lethal bowling and is none other than Mumbai Indians fast bowler Jofra Archer.
Media reports have revealed that Jofra Archer underwent a minor operation on his right elbow earlier this month. He went to Belgium for the surgery, which is why he has not been able to play many matches for Mumbai Indians. During the matches in which Jofra Archer did not play, he went to Belgium for the surgery and returned, hopefully making himself available for the next match.
Jofra Archer injury
After playing the first match on April 2, Jofra Archer was out of the next 4 matches. He returned to play his second match of the season on April 22 against Punjab Kings, taking 1 wicket for 42 runs. However, he was rested again in the following match against Gujarat Titans.
It is known that Jofra Archer has been plagued by injuries since the beginning of 2021. In the last 25 months, he has undergone surgery 6 times. England missed him greatly in the last Ashes series, and Mumbai Indians have also been facing a shortage of this star fast bowler since the last IPL season. In the recent match against Gujarat, the team conceded a lot of runs in the death overs, which resulted in Mumbai Indians facing defeat.
