IPL Records: Every season of the Indian Premier League i.e. IPL brings with it many memorable records. IPL 2026 is going to start from March 28 and fans are once again waiting for big matches. Before the new season, some such records of IPL history are in discussion which are remembered even today. One of these is the deadly bowling spell of Caribbean fast bowler Alzarri Joseph.
This feat happened on 6 April 2019, when the match was played between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers. In this match, Alzarri Joseph bowled in such a way in his IPL debut that it completely surprised the batsmen. He took 6 wickets for 12 runs in just 3.4 overs. Not only this, during this time he also bowled a maiden over. This performance is still considered the best bowling figure in IPL history.
History made in debut match itself
Alzarri Joseph bowled aggressively from the beginning in this match. He took a wicket on the very first ball of his IPL career and sent dangerous batsman David Warner to the pavilion. After this, he maintained constant pressure and did not give the batsmen a chance to recover. During this spell of Joseph, many wickets fell in a span of very few balls. Especially in his second spell, there was such pressure on the batsmen that four wickets fell in just a few balls. This is the reason why his spell is counted among the most dangerous bowling performances in IPL history.
Gave great victory to Mumbai Indians
In this match, Mumbai Indians, batting first, scored only 136 runs. This score was not considered very big and it seemed that the Hyderabad team would easily achieve the target. However, the lethal bowling of Alzarri Joseph changed the entire course of the match.
The entire team of Sunrisers Hyderabad was all out for just 96 runs and Mumbai Indians won the match by 40 runs. This performance of Joseph brought him into the headlines overnight.
Even today, when it comes to the most dangerous bowling spell of IPL, this performance of Alzarri Joseph is counted at the top. In the coming season, fans will be hopeful that perhaps some bowler can challenge this historical record.
