What did Bhajji say?

England pace bowler Jofra Archer is playing for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. The match was played between Sunrisers and Rajasthan at Hyderabad. In this match, the Sunrisers batsmen massacred the Rajasthan bowlers. At one stage, it seemed that they would surpass the highest score created by SRH. But they ended the innings by scoring 286 runs.


Jofra Archer conceded a lot of runs in this match. Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen hit consecutive boundaries, and Archer scored the most runs in his bowling. Jofra Archer, who bowled four overs, conceded 76 runs, including one no ball and two wides. He conceded the most runs with the worst bowling in the history of IPL. “Like the black taxi meter in London, Jofra Archer’s run meter is also going up,” Harbhajan commented. Netizens are expressing their anger that Bhajji made racist comments because Jofra Archer is black. They are demanding that such a person be removed from the IPL commentary panel immediately.

Jofra Archer, who failed in the Champions Trophy along with the Team India tour, has now conceded atrocious runs in the first match of IPL 2025. Previously, Mohit Sharma had conceded the highest number of 73 runs for Gujarat Titans. He conceded 73 runs without taking a wicket in the match against Delhi. While this was the worst bowling till now, Jofra Archer broke that record by conceding 76 runs against Sunrisers.
