IPL 2019: How the promising debutants have fared

#5 Alzarri Joseph

Joseph has not found his lines and lengths right since his first game

Yet another West Indian who made his debut this year with the Mumbai Indians, and had an absolutely sensational debut match. Alzarri Joseph returned with best bowling figures in IPL history, 6-12 in his 3.4 overs with one maiden over.

He bundled up Sunrisers Hyderabad for just 96. However, post that his performance has simply done no justice. He seems to be a different player from his second match. Not only has he failed in picking up another wicket, but also conceded bucket load of runs.

In his second match of the season, Joseph did not even complete his quota of 4 overs, bowling just 2. But it was his third match that must have left him most disappointed with himself. In just 3 overs he conceded 53 runs.

Joseph, who was brought in as a replacement for New Zealand pacer Adam Milne, will be out of action for the rest of the IPL, after suffering a blow on his shoulder in the match against Rajasthan. This is really unfortunate for the youngster who won't be getting any chances to redeem himself.
