MOM                               Alzarri Joseph for his 6/12(3.4 Overs) - on his IPL Debut


Alzarri Joseph announced his arrival to the Indian Premier League in a grand fashion as his 6/12(3.4 Overs)best figures in the history of this competition - helped Mumbai Indians outclass Sunrisers Hyderabad by 40 runs in a low-scoring affair at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday

Asked to bat, Mumbai looked down and out at one stage after being reduced to 97 for 7, but a ferocious 26-ball 46, decorated with two fours and four maximums, from Kieron Pollard propelled Mumbai to a respectable total of 136 for 7. The big-hitting all-rounder smacked 39 runs in the final two overs to tilt the momentum slightly in Mumbai's favour.

With partnerships of 118, 110, 185 and 64 to their names, Jonny Bairstow and David Warner once again came out with all guns blazing. The two kept quiet didn't go after Jasprit Bumrah but slammed Jason Behrendorff for four fours in his first two overs.

Rohit wasted no time and introduced Rahul Chahar in the fourth over and the legspinner repaid his captain's faith by getting rid of Bairstow for 10-ball 60. The English batsman was deceived by the flight and lost his shape completely while playing his shot, resulting in a top-edge that ballooned to Bumrah at short third man. This was the fifth time in five innings Bairstow was dismissed by a legspinner and that also could have been one of the reasons why Chahar was brought into the attack so early.

Alzarri Joseph  then celebrated his IPL debut in some fashion, by dissing Warner for 15 on his very first delivery


Things went from bad to worse for the home team when Joseph had Vijay caught for 5 at point with a back of a length delivery. This was a perfect opportunity for someone like Manish Pandey (16) and Deepak Hooda (20) to step up and the two weathered the storm for a while by focusing more on strike rotation. Pandey, however, once again disappointed as he hit one of Jason Behrendorff's deliveries straight to Rohit at mid-wicket. Meanwhile, Chahar, who picked up 2 for 21. finished his spell by sending Yusuf Pathan back for nought.

Coming back for his second spell, Joseph kept hunting and dismissed Hooda and Rashid in consecutive deliveries to hit the nail on Hyderabad's coffin. The 22-year-old then scalped the last two wickets as well to make his and Mumbai's outing even more memorable.

That's when Joseph took over the command and was helped by other bowlers as well as Hyderabad were bundled out for 96 in 17.4 overs. In the process, the Antiguan also bettered the record of Sohail Tanvir's figures of 6 for 14

Match Highlights



Joseph also became the seventh bowler to take a wicket off the first ball of his debut IPL game, joining a list that includes Wilkin Mota, TP Sudhindra, Ali Murtuza, Amit Singh, Ishant Sharma and Dwaraka Ravi Teja


Joseph became only the second bowler to deliver a wicket-maiden in his first IPL over. Pat Cummins was the only other bowler to achieve this feat.

The previous best was Sohail Tanvir's 6 for 14 in the inaugural edition in 2008. The previous best on IPL debut was Andrew Tye's 5/17  in 2017.
