Best Bowling Figures in IPL History
Young bowler Alzarri Joseph holds the record for the best bowling stats in an IPL match.

The Mumbai Indians had given the Hyderabad team a target of 137 runs, which was entirely doable. SRH, on the other hand, lost the match by 40 runs after being bundled for just 96 runs due to Alzarri Joseph’s consistent smashes.

In this encounter, the Royals batted first and easily chased down the 109 runs that the Chennai squad was all out for in 14.2 overs, winning by 8 wickets.
