India has been buzzing as the results of one of the biggest elections in the country's history are out. But on the result day, England fast bowler Jofra Archer was trending. Ahead of the election, the ruling party - Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) were primed to complete a landslide victory and hence built their campaign around the slog, "Abki baar, 400 par", which translates to this time will win over 400 seats in the election.
The exit polls also alluded to massive victory but on result day, the BJP found itself in a spot of bother as they secured 240 seats while the opposition party Congress won 99 seats. With this results, Jofra Archer's tweet from September 2023 has gone viral.
Jofra Archer’s tweet resurfaces as BJP fails to achieve “400 paar"
The English pacer had tweeted reacting to the ODI match between England and New Zealand on September 13 last year where Ben Stokes smashed a 124-ball 189 and the Three Lions posted 368. As Stokes played this brilliant knock, Archer had tweeted, "400?" which is now trending in India.
We're not trying to put too much expectation on him: Butler on Archer
Jofra Archer marked his return to international cricket after a massive injury lay-off. Talking about his return, England captain Jos Butler spoke about how he and the team don't want to put pressure on Archer. Butler said, "Playing cricket again and being back in an England shirt, I know how hard he has worked to get back and it's been a long time for him. As I've said before, we're not trying to put too much expectation on him."
"We know what a superstar he can be but it's been a long time since he's played international cricket so it's very easy to get very excited about it and expect big things from him. But I think just give him a bit of time. He's happy and smiling and loving being back in the changing room as much as he is on the field. So he's in a really good space," Butler added.
