The eleventh edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) proved to be one of the closest in terms of the competition. The <strong>Chennai Super Kings (CSK)</strong> were crowned Champions for the third time as they defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the title clash at the Wankhede Stadium. The tournament also saw some of the amazing fast bowlers being unearthed by the teams which gave tough times to the batsmen only on the back of the pace they possessed.

While the foreign bowlers are expected to be on this list, even the young crop of Indian fast bowlers have shown their prowess this time around. Currently, only Umesh Yadav has an ability to hit the mark of 145 kph consistently among the pacers in the Indian team. However, this season has given some hope as the youngsters have put their hands up troubling some of the best batsmen with a sheer pace.

Here we bring you the five fastest balls of the tournament:

5. Shivam Mavi &#8211; (Kolkata Knight Riders) &#8211; 149.86 kph<span id="cch_f19b651dfec4a38" class="_mh6 _wsc"></span>

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-241237" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Shivam-Mavi.jpg" alt="Shivam Mavi" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-241237" class="wp-caption-text">Shivam Mavi. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Shivam Mavi impressed everyone with his pace during the U19 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-world-cup-2019-sourav-ganguly-terms-india-favorites/"><strong>World Cup</strong></a> earlier this year which the Indian colts won by beating Australia in the final. It was the perfect timing for the players to perform as they were snapped up by several franchises in the mega-auction which followed. Mavi was picked by the KKR team for a whopping amount of Rs 3 Crore and the youngster didn&#8217;t disappoint. He ran in fast and bent his back while bowling every delivery in order to pick the wickets by foxing the batsman in front of him.

In the process, Mavi went on to bowl a brilliant delivery which clocked 149.86 kph during one of the matches he played. It was heartening to see the Indian youngster being able to generate such pace. Though he was immensely expensive this season, Mavi will surely come back as a better bowler next year. He could pick only 5 wickets in the nine matches he played and conceded runs at an economy of 9.64.

4. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mohammed-siraj-thanks-virat-kohli-for-giving-bestest-gift-of-his-life/">Mohammed Siraj</a> &#8211; (Royal Challengers Bangalore) &#8211; 149.94 kph<span id="cch_f19b651dfec4a38" class="_mh6 _wsc"></span>

Mohammed Siraj was one of the biggest positives for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) this year. He emerged as the death bowler for them when the team was struggling to contain runs at the start of the season. More often than not, the skipper Virat Kohli kept two or three of Siraj in order to keep a lid on the run-scoring of the opposition. The 24-year-old didn&#8217;t disappoint as well and managed to hit his lines perfectly. Moreover, his ability to bowl at pace hurried the batsmen which is a good sign for the Indian cricket going forward.

Siraj trumped Mavi just by bowling a certain delivery at a speed of 149.94 kph which is absolutely sensational. Gone are the days when people used to remark the Indian bowlers as medium pacers and not fast bowlers. If these youngsters are groomed properly and kept away from injuries, they will surely prosper in the years to come and trouble some of the best batsmen in the international cricket. Siraj, however, had one fo the best IPL seasons by picking 11 wickets in as many matches with his best figures being 3/25 in one of the games.

3. Jofra Archer &#8211; (Rajasthan Royals) &#8211; 150.82 kph

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Jofra Archer was the talk of the town after his show in the <strong>Big Bash League (BBL)</strong> earlier this year and there was so much hype around him when he was picked by the Royals in the auction. An injury ahead of the tournament delayed his arrival to the scene. But he made an impact in his very first game by winning the Man of the Match award for his figures of 3/22 with the ball. He caught the Mumbai Indians (MI) batsmen off guard with his pace and bowled brilliant yorkers which were literally unplayable.

It is not easy to bowl at a pace of 150 kph but this 23-year-old cricketer managed it with ease delivering one of his many balls at 150.82 kph which left everyone in awe of him. Rajasthan got the much-needed boost in their bowling attack as well and they peaked at the right time to qualify for the playoffs in the end. Archer proved to be a great buy for the franchise and no wonder they will look to retain him for the next few years.

2. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2018-twitterati-stunned-billy-stanlakes-height/">Billy Stanlake</a> &#8211; (Sunrisers Hyderabad) &#8211; 151.38 kph

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-240638" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Billy-Stanlake-3.jpg" alt="Billy Stanlake" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-240638" class="wp-caption-text">Billy Stanlake. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Billy Stanlake takes the second position in this list after clocking 151.38 kph in his delivery strides. The lanky Australian bowler was a surprise pick and the SRH team management made full use of him until he got injured, unfortunately. But the 23-year-old sizzled with his performances in the four matches he played for eventual finalists of the tournament. He will surely eye a successful return in the next season and will hope to play the whole tournament.

Stanlake picked 5 wickets in the 16 overs he bowled in four innings and conceded a total of 130 runs. An economy of 8.12 is a decent one given that he bowled all the difficult overs and also was amongst the wickets mostly. He deserved to get more wickets but an untimely injury affected his season and even the team failed to find an impact bowler like him since then.

1. Jofra Archer &#8211; (Rajasthan Royals) &#8211; 152.39 kph

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-250559" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Jofra-Archer.jpg" alt="Jofra Archer" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-250559" class="wp-caption-text">Rajasthan Royals&#8217; Jofra Archer in action. (Photo by Surjeet Yadav/IANS)</figcaption>

Jofra Archer has bowled the fastest ball of the 2018 season of the IPL. He clocked a massive 152.39 kph during the course of the tournament and was troubling the batsmen with his sheer pace. Though he was expensive at times, Archer seldom missed his mark and hit the deck hard to bounce out the batsmen as well. When it comes to pace, there was no competition for him at all this year as he went on to feature in the list a number of times by constantly bowling at the speed of 150 kph.

He ended the season with 15 wickets to his name in 10 innings as his team was knocked out of the tournament in the eliminator. He was the highest wicket-taker for the Royals and a bowling average of 21.66 was the third best despite playing so many matches. He conceded 8.36 runs per over while striking after every 15.5 balls prove his worth as the bowler. The Royals had snapped him up for a whopping amount of Rs 7.20 Crores and Archer didn&#8217;t disappoint at all.
