Windies pacer Alzarri Joseph completed the best꧅ bowling figures in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history on his debut.
22-year-old Joseph♏ took six wickets for 12 runs in 3.4 overs to lead Mumbai Indians (MI) to a 40-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the🐻 Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday.
He bowled SRH opener David Warner in his first delivery before going on to break Sohail Tanvir’s previous record of 6/14.

“It’s a dream start, can’t get better than this,” said Joseph after the match.
“I just wanted to bowl to the plans,” added Joseph. “When they said I was playing, I decided to keep it simple and back myself.”
Joseph was roped in by the Mumbai franchise after New Zealand’s Adam Milne pulled out of the ongoing competition because of a heel injury. The Windies seamer was in the playing XI in place of absent Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga.
