Best debut for Alzarri!

Alzarri Joseph had first impressed as an under-19 cricketer. Now taking rapid strides at the top level. Bowled superbly tonite, picking up a fifer on debut. On a pitch where batting’s been difficult, Pollard’s contribution with bat must be acknowledged too

Dream debut!!

Wow! Just wow! What a show by Alzzari Joseph. 6 wickets on debut 👏👏👏

Alzari Joseph himself couldn't have scripted a better start, brilliant #SRHvMI
