Fastest deliveries of IPL 2024, including those from Mayank, Burger, and Umran

The Indian Premier League boasts the biggest collection of top players in the game, and that extends to fast bowling as well.

While fast bowlers can only truly be gauged in the longer formats, T20 cricket offers a platform for them to showcase one particular skill – pure pace.

The shortest format allows pacers to go full throttle and not worry about conserving energy for later spells. That means T20 cricket is where the fastest deliveries are registered nowadays.

This IPL is barely a week old and we have already seen some sizzling deliveries from the faster men. A few quicks have yet to feature and they will surely fire up the speed gun when they get a chance.
