"Jofra Archer will wipe all those smug grins off your faces" - TV personality's brutal reply to Indian fans before ENG vs IND 2025 3rd Test

English journalist and television personality Piers Morgan gave a 'Jofra Archer' threat to Indian fans ahead of the upcoming third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between England and India. He made these remarks while responding to Team India's fan group, 'The Bharat Army', on X.

India secured a dominant 336-run victory over England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, claiming their first-ever Test win at the venue. During the match, Morgan made a post on X in appreciation of the Ben Stokes-led side's Bazball approach.

He wrote after Jamie Smith and Harry Brook's heroics in England's first innings:

"I love Bazball so much."

The Bharat Army trolled Morgan by reacting to the post with three laughing emojis after India's famous win at Edgbaston. The journalist replied by suggesting England's star speedster Jofra Archer will wipe the smiles off the Indian fans' faces.

He wrote:

"See you at Lord’s - where I suspect @JofraArcher will wipe all those smug grins off your faces,"

It is worth mentioning that Archer didn't feature in England's playing XI for the first two Tests of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. He hasn't played Test cricket in over four years, with his last appearance coming in February 2021 during the side's tour of India.
