England pacer Jofra Archer managed to pick up just two wickets in the recently concluded Test series in New Zealand. However, Archer did manage to trouble the Kiwi batsmen with a barrage of bouncers across the series. His bowling spells even troubled the home side's skipper Kane Williamson among several other New Zealand batters. Archer's IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals took notice of his performance and took to Twitter to boast about the same.
Too close for comfort, Kane? 👀
