SRH vs MI | Twitter reacts as Alzarri Joseph dethrones Sohail Tanvir to register best figures in IPL history
What a day for Alzarri Joseph! The first ball of his IPL career he claimed the prized wicket of the in-form David Warner. Alzarri didn't stop there! He went on to take another 5 wickets giving away just 12 runs to break Sohail Tanvir's record. Needless to say, the Twitterati were left impressed.
What a moment for the youngster!
Wicket of David Warner with his first ball in IPL cricket. No gimmicks, no sloppy dancing, just a class non-celebration with his teammates. 22 year old Alzarri Joseph is already my favourite West Indian in the IPL. #SRHvsMI #IPL

What a replacement!
And Alzarri Joseph came as the replacement for Milne.

From that to picking David Warner with his first ball! What a start to his career!
Alzarri Joseph's first claim to fame (aside form the u-19 World Cup) came when he smacked AB de Villiers on the helmet with a bumper in the Caribbean Premier League.

Setting the IPL on fire now with a searing spell🔥#SRHvMI #Ipl2019
How does one say "Ee Saala Cup Namde" in Marathi?
Feels like MI's season. Player after player performing. Similar to CSK's last season. #IPL

Alzarri Joseph, well done! 👏@IPL#SRHvMI
Damn, Malinga will be regretting his decision to leave the IPL at this time!
Dream debut for West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph.

Coming in for Lasith Malinga, who has gone back to Sri Lanka to play in a domestic event, Joseph dug in to take 6 wickets for 12 runs, the best figures in IPL history.
At 23, his story is only beginning.#IPLT20 #MumbaiIndians
