IPL 2024: RCB buy Alzarri Joseph for Rs. 11.5 crore
West Indies's star pacer Alzarri Joseph will play for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB bought the pacer for a staggering sum of Rs. 11.5 crore in the auction event. Joseph can set the speed gun on fire and his ability to nail yorkers makes him an even greater asset. Here we look at his stats.
Over 100 T20 wickets for Joseph
Joseph has raced to 121 T20 wickets in 101 games with his economy being 8.50. Meanwhile, his average is under 25, which speaks volumes of his wicket-taking abilities.

Best figures in IPL history
Joseph made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2019. He claimed 6/12 in the contest, the best individual figures in IPL to date. The pacer, who was released by Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2024 auction, owns 20 wickets in 19 IPL games at an economy of 9.19. In 44 CPL games, he has scalped 48 wickets at an economy of 8.26.
Here are his T20I numbers
