IPL Stats: S Joseph

S Joseph burst onto the IPL stage as a fearless left-arm pacer who combined late-swing mastery with pinpoint yorkers. From his very first match he was entrusted to bowl the difficult overs, regularly delivering breakthroughs in the powerplay and then nailing yorkers in the death. His signature out-swinger to right-handers and cleverly disguised slower ball made him a captain’s go-to bowler on flat Indian tracks. In crunch games he stepped up with the new ball and at the death, often turning momentum with a single over. Beyond raw speed, Joseph’s composure under pressure and sharp cricketing brain allowed him to out-think set batters in high-stakes chases. Whether opening the attack or defending 10 off the final over, he showcased rare calmness and skill that quickly endeared him to fans and franchises alike.

S Joseph IPL 2024: Lucknow Super Giants’ untested pace option who rolled his arm in a single high-pressure outing, sending down the full four-over quota and finishing with 0 for 47. The 24-ball spell cost 11.75 runs per over, a number that masks the raw pace and swing that encouraged the think-tank to blood him against top-order heavyweights. With no wickets to show yet, the Saint Lucian quick’s career graph is still at base camp, but the franchise’s willingness to throw him straight into the deep end signals a long-term project. Zero centuries, fifties, fours or sixes underline that Joseph is a pure-bred bowler whose future value lies in knocking stumps, not clearing ropes. Expect the 2025 mega-auction chatter to centre on whether Lucknow retain the 22-year-old as their emerging Caribbean speedster or roll the dice again.
