AFP, Hyderabad :
West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph enjoyed a dream Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for Mumbai Indians on Saturday after returning best ever figures of 6-12 in the Twenty20 tournament.
The 22-yer-old, who joined the Mumbai squad in place of the injured Adam Milne of New Zealand, bowled a maiden in 3.4 overs to help his team thrash hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad by 40 runs.
Joseph went past the previous best bowling effort of Pakistan’s Sohail Tanvir for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL’s inaugural edition in 2008.
Joseph, a lanky paceman who made his Test debut in 2016 and took 10 wickets in the West Indies’ recent home 2-1 series triumph against England, was named man of the match.
