Who Bowled The fastest Ball In IPL?
IPL is the biggest cricket league in the world and every star cricketer around the globe takes part in this enterprising league. Yes. IPL is a batting paradise and all the top batsmen from different countries have stepped their feet at least once in their lifetime. However, the tournament has always attracted quality and swift fast bowlers from around the world. Some decent fast bowlers are essential for a team be it Indians or an overseas one. Bowlers with excessive pace are likely to be tough for the batsmen to handle if they bowl in the right areas. Over the span of 17 years, pacers like Shoaib Akhtar, Pat Cummins, Shaun Tait, Mark Wood, Lockie Ferguson, Umran Malik, etc have featured in this marquee event.
Fastest Ball In IPL
Former Australian fast bowler, Shaun Tait bowled the fastest ball in the history of IPL. He recorded 157.71 km/hr for Rajasthan Royals against Delhi Capitals in 2011. Former Aussie World Cup-winning captain Aaron Finch faced the thunderous delivery from Tait. It’s been 13 years and the record is still unbroken. Injuries cut short Tait’s career, he was popular for bowling with sheer pace on good lengths, rattling the batters with his yorkers and length balls. Having played 21 games for RR, the right-arm seamer claimed 23 wickets at a decent economy rate of 81.12.
