With every season of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL), the cricket fans get a taste of high-end performances by the newcomers on the field. Every year an uncapped player comes in with his unknown potential to snatch the limelight from the already proclaimed prodigies. In the history of the IPL, pacers from around the world have left their mark on the international audience with their deliveries, which are as fast as a thunderbolt.

Over 15 years of the IPL, fast bowlers like Dale Steyn, and Jofra Archer have come into the league with their background of rattling the batters with full seam deliveries. Their ability to bowl over 150kmph consistently is what makes them stand out from the crowd. While other bowlers barely touch 140kmph, these speedsters very smoothly cross the record marks.

Lately, Anrich Nortje has filled all the spots of getting the fastest ball, but a young Indian sensation, Umran Malik is taking it up to the course in every match. While this has been the situation in the previous two editions, IPL had the glory of Shaun Tait bowling in India. Here are the top fastest balls bowled in the history of IPL.

Top 5 fastest deliveries in IPL&#8217;s history

5. Anrich Nortje – 155.2kmph. (Delhi Capitals)

Anrich Nortje gained attention as soon as he played his debut T20I game for South Africa in a series against India in 2019 in Mohali. Since then, his racing deliveries have been leaving a mark around the world. In his debut season in IPL 2020, he bowled the second fastest delivery in the history of the league, clocking 155.2 mph against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/one-of-the-most-special-moments-in-my-life-sanju-samson-recalls-his-rajasthan-royals-trials-story-with-rahul-dravid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan Royals</a>.

Although, he did not get the best of starts to the IPL 2022 edition as he was barred from bowling after delivering two dangerous no-balls against Quinton de Kock in the match against Lucknow Super Giants. He was taken out of the attack following his lethal full toss resulting in no balls.  After this incident, he did not get to play a few more games in the league.

Nortje has been touching the 155kmph mark easily in the IPL games as well as for his national side. He is one of the reasons batsmen do not go full as soon as the game starts. His deliveries might race with light but still get converted into boundaries.

4. Umran Malik &#8211; 155.6 kmph (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The 22-year-old, hailing from the hill state, Jammu and Kashmir had gained attention during IPL 2021 game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore. He bowled three deliveries in a row at more than 150 kmph to Devdutt Padikkal. As a result of his fast bowling, he was named as a net bowler for India&#8217;s team for the 2021 ICC Men&#8217;s T20 World Cup.

This time around, Umran Malik has clocked 150+ kmph on a regular basis and he took to a different level in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The youngster bowled one delivery at 155.6 kmph to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rovman-powell-reveals-conversation-with-david-warner-in-20th-over-of-dcs-innings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rovman Powell</a> which is the fourth fastest ball in the history of the tournament. In the same match, he bowled deliveries clocking 155.6 kmph and 154.8 kmph. Umran broke his own record multiple times for bowling the fastest delivery.

Malik has been ringing bells with noteworthy performances ever since the tournament began. He took his first five-wicket haul in T20 cricket against Gujarat Titans. Since then, his confidence while bowling in the last overs has increased day by day. He has successfully created fear among the top batsmen of the world with the exuberant power of his right arm.

3. Anrich Nortje – 156.2kmph. (Delhi Capitals)

The fast bowler from South Africa Anrich Nortje is currently one of the top fastest bowlers in the world. He has been consistently hitting 150kmph+ for the past few IPL seasons now. He ranks seventh in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings of bowlers. The 28-year-old pacer, year on year is proving to be a great bowler in the shortest format of cricket.

In August 2020, Nortje joined the Delhi Capitals as a replacement for Chris Woakes in the IPL. On 14 October 2020, during the 30th match of the IPL 2020, Nortje bowled at the speed of 156.22 km/h (97 mph) to<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/jos-buttler-credits-pakistan-spin-legend-mushtaq-ahmed-for-his-purple-patch-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Jos Buttler</a> of Rajasthan Royals. Although it went for a boundary, the Proteas speedster showed the world that he can bowl at extreme pace.

Nortje is responsible for creating a well-known fear among the batsmen. He is trusted to bowl well in the first powerplay of the innings itself. The pacer made his T20I debut against India in the year 2019 and since then has been South Africa&#8217;s leading pacer.

2. Umran Malik &#8211; 157 kmph (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-635054" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Umran-Malik-3.jpg" alt="Umran Malik" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-635054" class="wp-caption-text">Umran Malik. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The young fast bowler from Jammu and Kashmir promises to be the new fast bowling sensation of the nation. He has become one of the top emerging players of this season with his lightening fast deliveries which leave the batsmen in awe of his skills. Hyderabad captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kane-williamson-is-an-important-player-in-line-up-he-cant-be-batting-at-strike-rate-of-100-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kane Williamson</a> especially saves his overs, so that he can do the damage to the opposition in the slog overs.

In the match against Delhi Capitals, Malik unleashed a thunderbolt, that clocked 157 kmph to Rovman Powell. The incident took place in the last over of the Delhi innings and Powell just had to connect the ball as it raced to the boundary.

Umran is definitely proving the SRH management right in retaining him with his consistency in bowling over 150kmph in every match. Although he has not been economical with those deliveries, it still manages to rattle the batsman’s confidence. With 15 wickets in 10 matches, he maintains an economy of 8.92 this season.

1. Shaun Tait – 157.3 kmph (Rajasthan Royals)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-639467" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shaun-Tait.jpg" alt="Shaun Tait" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-639467" class="wp-caption-text">Shaun Tait (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Shaun Tait, an Australian cricketer was the fastest bowler in the world in his early career. He was dubbed as ‘The Wild Thing’ because of his slinging bowling action. He retired from all forms of cricket in 2017. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-has-never-refused-series-with-pakistan-reveals-former-pcb-chairman-tauqir-zia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan</a> national cricket team roped in the prodigy as a bowling coach in the year 2022.

Tait has often been described as &#8216;erratic,&#8217; although his unpredictability has resulted in being a positive factor in dismissing batsmen. Tait has also been criticized as being ‘expensive’ during his career. However, he earned a reputation for himself for bowling fast and rattling the batters.

Tait played for Rajasthan Royals from 2010 to 2013 and bowled the fastest delivery in the history of the IPL, which remains unchanged to this date. He clocked 157.3 kmph against Delhi Daredevils (now known as Delhi Capitals).
