10. Alzarri Joseph by PBKS
The young West Indian has been pretty impressive in his IPL career. He might not have attracted much limelight but he has been a strong component of every franchise he has ever been with. In the 2019 season, he made a dream debut against Sunrisers Hyderabad with figures of 6/12 playing for the Mumbai Indians. Since then, he has been a regular member of the West Indies setup. He was picked by the Gujarat Titans for Rs.2.40 crores ahead of the IPL 2022.
In this year’s IPL he has clinched seven wickets in eight games as yet. Gujarat Titans are in the league of their own, sitting on the top of the points table, and are the first team to have qualified for the playoffs. The likes of Mohammad Shami, Lockie Ferguson, and Rashid Khan have been brilliant in the bowling department. Alzarri Joseph has been excellent too, but the way he might have been utilized by Punjab Kings would have improved his numbers as well as helped the Punjab Kings to their advantage.
If he were to play in place of Sandeep Sharma for the Punjab Kings, that may have increased their wicket-taking chances in the powerplay overs. Sandeep has not been very effective this season. Punjab Kings have not used the powerplay to great effect while bowling. Arshdeep Singh has been economical at the death, but upfront he has not contributed in the wickets column. Alzarri might have been the third player alongside Rabada and Arshdeep to make a lethal pace trio.
