<p>Mumbai Indians faced a rampant Sunrisers Hyderabad side at their home ground on Saturday, in a match which turned out to be a low-scoring thriller.</p>
<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad came into the game as favourites with their openers Jonny Bairstow and David Warner almost unbeatable so far this season.</p>
<p>But a late cameo by Kieron Pollard in the Mumbai Indians innings coupled with the wickets of Bairstow and Warner early in the Sunrisers innings pushed the home team on the backfoot.</p>
<p>Then Rohit Sharma brought in a young, lanky West Indian, Alzarri Joseph, to debut for the Mumbai Indians in a pressure situation and boy did he deliver!</p>
<p>Alzarri Joseph bowled 3.4 overs, giving away just 12 runs and picking 6 wickets! These are the best bowling figures ever in 12 IPL seasons and it took a debutant to smash the record.</p>
<p>Alzarri took the crucial wickets of David Warner, Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda during crunch time and went on to clean up the tail. Giving Mumbai Indians a surprising victory and moving the team fourth in the IPL table.</p>
<p>Here's how Twitter reacted to Alzarri Joseph's spell:</p>
