Over the years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed some of the fastest bowlers bowling in the tournament. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer, Umran Malik is one such emerging pace bowler and he bowled the fastest delivery of the season piping Lockie Ferguson by clocking 154 KPH on the speed gun against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Chennai Super Kings are witnessing a forgettable outing in the ongoing season of the IPL as they have managed to win just a couple of games from eight games so far in the tournament. However, they have started well against Sunrisers Hyderabad with a superb opening partnership. SRH won the toss and opted to bowl first. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway gave the team a brilliant start and were looking good on the crease.

Umran Malik was bowling the 10th over of the innings and he bowled a good length delivery clocking 154 KPH on the second ball of the over. With such pace, Umran piped Lockie Ferguson for the fastest delivery of the season and once again displayed the lethal pace with which he can bowl. However, the result of the delivery wasn’t in favor of the pacer as Ruturaj edged the ball and it went for the boundary over the keeper’s head.
