He has become the batsman who has been dismissed the most number of times on the first ball of the match in IPL. Jofra Archer took his wicket on the first ball of the match against Rajasthan Royals. However, the shameful record of being out on the first ball of the innings in IPL is in the name of India’s Parthiv Patel.
Virat Kohli and Phil Salt came to open the rain-affected match played at Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati. Joffra Archer bowled the first ball of the match which had tremendous bounce along with speed. Salt dodged the bounce and the ball took the edge of his bat and went into the hands of wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel.
