“It is not something that I really play for; I only play for wins and not [for] limelight. It is a good feeling but I want to win this tournament and not just personal performances,” Joseph said during the post-match conference.
When asked about which wicket gave him the maximum satisfaction, the 22-year old replied that the last wicket was his favourite because it gave them victory.
Joseph’s incursion was not really tackled well by Sunrisers Hyderabad, as a result, the hosts were bundled out for a scanty 96 runs and Mumbai Indians won the match by 40 runs after which the debutant was named the man of the match.
