He bagged 13 wickets from six matches, three of which came in the final against India, which helped his side win the championship. Coincidentally, he also dismissed a young Ishan Kishan at the World Cup, with whom he will be sharing the dressing room now.
Joseph has played seven T20 games thus far. He has nine wickets at a strike rate of 17 and career best T20 figures of 4/41. Joseph has taken 25 wickets in nine Test matches. He has also played 16 ODIs.
This will be his first go-round in the IPL.
