Jofra Archer is unlikely to play for Mumbai Indians against Kolkata Knight Riders in their fourth match of IPL 2023. Archer has missed the last two games due to elbow trouble. Mumbai Indians have only won one game out of three so far and are also without their spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. Tim David, a batter for Mumbai Indians and Australia, said that Archer is being managed by the medical team and he is not a part of those conversations. He added that it is difficult to plan for KKR’s Rinku Singh, who has been hitting big shots in recent matches. David said that Mumbai Indians will focus on playing their best cricket and taking on every team.
Mumbai Indians have won eight out of nine matches against KKR at the Wankhede Stadium, but David said that the challenge will still be tough. He emphasized the importance of making their home ground a fortress and getting good results all the time.
