There are few pacers who could succeed at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Jofra Archer surely has the attributes to do well in the dangerous stadium for the bowlers.
Also, RCB is in desperate need of fast bowling options. They have released their entire attack. At the moment, only Mohammed Siraj is a confirmed starter in the bowling unit. Someone like Jofra can help the side in this regard.

3) Gujarat Titans
Having released Alzarri Joseph, Gujarat Titans will look for a replacement. A fine hit-the-deck pacer, Alzarri’s like-to-like replacement could be someone like Jofra Archer.
After the departure of Hardik Pandya, GT will need more stars in the squad. This is to help the side do well and also attract more fans towards the team. Jofra Archer has a cult following and he will help the IPL 2022 winners in this regard.
