Shaun Tait

Shaun Tait delivered the fastest ball ever in an IPL contest. When Aaron Finch was a member of the Delhi Daredevils in 2011, he set a speed record of 157.71 kph. He was one of the quickest bowlers in cricket, not only in the IPL. During his four seasons with the Rajasthan Royals, he made 21 appearances and took 23 wickets. Even yet, because of persistent ailments, his career ended far sooner than that of some other fast bowlers of his period.

Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson was the fastest bowler in the 2022 Indian Premier League. Lockie, who bowled at a pace of 157.3 kmph during the final game against the Rajasthan Royals, received the title for the fastest delivery of the tournament. Ferguson, who is renowned for his rapid bowling, demonstrated this skill many times in the 2022 IPL. He just made a new trade to the Kolkata Knight Riders, his previous team.

Umran Malik

Umran Malik is one of India's quickest bowlers right now. In the just concluded IPL 2022, he hit Delhi Capitals hitter Rovman Powell with one of the fastest balls of the competition, second only to Lockie Ferguson's 157 kph. Umran Malik bowled brilliantly for India against Ireland and Bangladesh after the IPL. All he needs to do is work on his line and length, and if he can do that, he will definitely have a bright future playing for India.

Anrich Nortje

Anrich Nortje is a fascinating bowler from South Africa. He was bowling at above 150 kmph during IPL 2020, and his expressive pace amazed everyone and resulted in several batters being knocked out. During a match between the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, he was delivering Jos Buttler a delivery at 156.22 kmph, which Buttler took for four, making it the fourth-fastest ball in IPL history. He played a part in the Delhi Capitals' ability to go to the IPL 2020 championship final.

Umran Malik

Once more, Umran Malik delivered the fifth-fastest delivery in the IPL. He's on this list of the quickest balls every time. He delivered a delivery against the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2022 with a speed of 156 kmph. His sheer speed caused a number of hitters to suffer during the game.
