The Indian Premier League (IPL) has provided a great platform to the Indian cricketers and it has not only churned out some good hard-hitting batters but also few really good pacers. For example, Jasprit Bumrah, Umran Malik, Mohammed Siraj, etc. came into limelight because of their performances in the IPL and it helped them in getting a call for the national team. The IPL 2025 is just around the corner and today we will like to share a list of the fastest Indian bowlers whom we will get to see play in the upcoming season:
1. Mayank Yadav (Lucknow Super Giants):
Emerging as a formidable force, Mayank Yadav has consistently clocked speeds exceeding 150 km/h. Notably, he delivered a 156.7 km/h thunderbolt against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the 2024 season. His raw pace has been instrumental in Lucknow Super Giants’ bowling arsenal.
2. Jasprit Bumrah (Mumbai Indians):
A seasoned campaigner, Jasprit Bumrah continues to spearhead Mumbai Indians’ attack. Renowned for his lethal Yorkers and the ability to bowl at speeds exceeding 150 km/h, his experience and skill set make him indispensable, particularly during the death overs. Jasprit Bumrah’s fastest delivery is recorded at 153 km/hr but it is his wicket-taking ability which makes him the best bowler of the world. Currently, he is out of action as he suffered back injury during the Sydney test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 but there are good chances that he will be back in the IPL 2025.
3. Mohammad Siraj (Gujarat Titans)
Transitioning to Gujarat Titans in the 2025 season, Mohammad Siraj has been a consistent performer. With his ability to swing the ball at high speeds, Siraj has been effective both with the new ball and in the later stages of the innings, often providing crucial breakthroughs.
4. Prasidh Krishna (Gujarat Titans)
Joining Gujarat Titans, Prasidh Krishna has been a vital part of their pace attack. Known for his height and ability to extract bounce, combined with speeds around 145 km/h, he has troubled many top-order batsmen throughout the season. His fastest ball has been recorded at 150.22 km/hr and he is certainly one of those pacers who can make their team win a match on the basis of their bowling.
5. Harshit Rana (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Harshit Rana has been a key figure in Kolkata Knight Riders’ bowling lineup. With his ability to generate significant pace, he has effectively led the attack, especially during the powerplay overs, and has been instrumental in securing early wickets. His fastest delivery has been recorded at 151 Km/hr.
6. Avesh Khan (Lucknow Super Giants)
Avesh Khan, whose fastest delivery was recorded at 149 km/hr, continues to be a cornerstone for Lucknow Super Giants. Consistently bowling at speeds around 145 km/h, his aggressive approach and wicket-taking ability have been pivotal in the team’s success.
7. Umran Malik (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Umran Malik, known for his express pace, can be a standout performer for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2025. Regularly hitting speeds above 150 km/h, Malik’s raw speed has made him a formidable opponent for batsmen, adding a dynamic edge to KKR’s bowling attack. Umran Malik became a pace sensation when he bowled at the speed of 157 km/hr in the IPL 2022.
These bowlers have not only lit up the speed gun but also played pivotal roles in their teams’ performances, making the IPL 2025 a thrilling spectacle for cricket enthusiasts.
