In the high-stakes environment of T20 leagues like IPL, Ferguson consistently keeps batsmen on their toes, unleashing thunderous deliveries that clock some of the fastest speeds in the game. His ability to maintain a balance between speed and accuracy has earned him a reputation as one of the fastest bowlers in the current cricket setup.

Lockie Ferguson sold to RCB

New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson entered the IPL 2024 auction at a base price of 2 crores, and he got sold to RCB for his price of 2 crores.

Lockie Ferguson in the IPL previously

Lockie Ferguson’s IPL expedition has been a fascinating journey across different franchises. In 2017, he donned Rising Pune Supergiant jersey, marking his initial foray into the league. Subsequently, from 2019 to 2021, he became an integral part of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where his consistent performances turned heads and solidified his status as a key player.

In 2022, Ferguson represented Gujarat Titans. The season proved to be another showcase of his bowling skills, as he delivered a standout performance with 12 wickets in 13 matches at an average of 35.58. However, the cricketing dynamics took an interesting turn in 2023, as he was traded back to Kolkata Knight Riders just ahead of the auctions, making a homecoming of sorts.
