Lockie Ferguson bowls fastest delivery of IPL 2022 , clocks 157.3 Kmph during RR vs GT final | Watch

Gujarat Titans pacer Lockie Ferguson broke SRH young sensation Umran Malik’s fastest delivery record of IPL 2022. Ferguson achieved this feat during IPL mega final against Rajasthan Royals at Narendra Modi Stadium.

Earlier, Umran Malik bowled 157 Kmph against Delhi Capitals in this season and also won record ‘fastest delivery of the match’ award for consecutive fourteen Matches. Ferguson surpassed Malik ‘s record and clocked 157.3 Kmph on Sunday night. It was a Yorker length delivery outside off stump against Jos Butler who missed that ball to connect and ball went to keeper’s hand.

Talking about the match, Debutants Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals in a one sided match in World’s richest T20 tournament. Titans skipper Hardik Pandya’s all-round performance helped the franchise to bag the IPL title. He won player of the match award.

“This is the right example for any team in the world. If you can play as a team and build a good unit with genuine people around, wonders can happen. I and Ashu pa, we like to play proper bowlers. Batters can obviously chip in, but most of the time I have seen in T20 cricket – it’s a batter’s game but bowlers win you games” said GT skipper at the Post Match Presentation.
