Jofra Archer was frustrated at Riyan Parag’s field after an edge went for four in the PBKS vs RR IPL 2026 match.
Jofra Archer showed visible anger at skipper Riyan Parag during the IPL 2026 match between the Punjab Kings and the Rajasthan Royals. The pacer maintained a high pace but lacked support in the field.
Punjab openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh attacked early. Prabhsimran hit 2 fours in Archer’s first over. PBKS reached 29/0 after 2 overs, including 21 runs off Nandre Burger.

Archer responded in the 3rd over with a sharp delivery at 138.8 kmph. Arya edged the ball while attempting a shot outside off stump. The ball flew past the wicketkeeper for 4 as no slip fielder stood in place. Archer reacted immediately and signaled angrily towards Riyan Parag about the missing slip.

Look at that angry reaction from Jofra when the ball flew straight to the slips with no fielder present. Maybe he asked for a slip and Riyan refused — that’s why he reacted like that. 😡🤯
