In a video uploaded by the Mumbai Indians on Youtube, Jofra said, “My phone started to go off. Back-to-back messages. I think some guys from the Mumbai team ended up calling me. When I saw calls from +91, I knew exactly what had happened. I was really excited as it is a great franchise. Really excited to get started and start winning some games and trophies.
The change of team is good because you get to challenge yourself: Jofra Archer
The speedster further spoke about the change of team from r to the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. He asserted that it allows him to challenge himself.
He added that his mindset is to once again prove himself, coming on the back of an injury. Jofra said:
“The change of team and atmosphere is really good because then you get to challenge yourself again because sometimes it is okay to operate in your comfort zone. But once you have gone away and began to perform again in a different team then you can rate yourself.”
“It is like when Ronaldo left, many people said that he wasn’t going to be good outside of Spain. But he has proved himself wherever he has gone now and no one can doubt his skills. So it is the same mindset,” he added.
