anrich nortje: IPL 2020: Fastest deliveries in IPL history, Anrich Nortje of Delhi Capitals dominates the list | Cricket news

South African fast bowler Anrich Nortje has set the stage on fire in what is his first season of IPL. The quick tear made headlines when it released the fastest delivery in IPL history on Wednesday. Capitals of Delhi‘match against Royals of Rajasthan, which the Capitals won by 13 runs. Nortje posted an incredible 156.22 kmph or 97 mph to break the previous record. On the next ball, he took Jos Buttler’s window. This delivery was recorded at 155.1 km / h.
With this, Nortje broke his compatriot Dale Steyn’s record for the fastest delivery in IPL history of 154.40 km / h.
What is absolutely amazing, however, is that on the list of the 10 fastest deliveries in IPL history, Nortje has five entries. The three fastest deliveries in IPL history are attributed to Nortje.

Nortje, 26, was hired by the Delhi Capitals this season as a replacement for English all-rounder Chris Woakes and has proven to be an extremely effective player for the Capitals, who are seeking their first IPL title. The Nortje-Rabada fast bowling association has been a crucial factor in Delhi’s success this season. The two have taken 28 wards combined so far in IPL 2020.

Nortje, who has taken 10 wickets in 8 games so far at a budget rate of 7.34, was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders before the 2019 IPL, but missed that season due to injury.
Nortje has so far played 6 events, 7 ODI and 3 T20 internationals for South Africa, with a total of 35 wickets.
