Rajasthan Royals’ Jofra Archer (ANI Photo)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jofra Archer<\/a> etched his name into Rajasthan Royals history with a match-winning spell that also made him the franchise\u2019s leading wicket-taker in the IPL.Archer\u2019s figures of 3\/20 against Lucknow Super Giants not only sealed a dominant 40-run win but also took his tally to 68 wickets for Rajasthan, moving him past Yuzvendra Chahal (66) and into the top spot. He now leads a list that includes the likes of Siddharth Trivedi (65), Shane Watson<\/a> (61) and Shane Warne (57).It was a landmark performance on a night where Rajasthan\u2019s bowlers once again carried the side. Defending just 159, the Royals produced a clinical effort to bowl LSG out for 119 in 18 overs, registering the lowest total successfully defended in IPL 2026 in a full, uninterrupted game.While Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan<\/a> had earlier combined to dismantle Rajasthan\u2019s top order, it was Archer who ensured there would be no comeback in the chase. His pace and bounce proved too much for the LSG middle order, including a key wicket of Aiden Markram with a rising delivery.LSG\u2019s chase never gained momentum. Mitchell Marsh fought a lone battle with 55, but poor shot selection and regular wickets derailed the innings after Rishabh Pant\u2019s early dismissal. Contributions from Nicholas Pooran and others never materialised, as Rajasthan kept striking at regular intervals.Earlier, Rajasthan had struggled with the bat after being put in, with their top order collapsing once again. It was Ravindra Jadeja who rescued the innings with a composed unbeaten 43 off 29 balls, ensuring they had something to defend.In the end, though, the night belonged to Archer. Not just for his spell, but for a milestone that underlines his impact in Royals colours \u2014 now officially their most successful wicket-taker in IPL history.<\/div>\n
