Top five fastest deliveries in IPL 2026

Only two Indians feature in the list of bowlers with top five fastest deliveries in IPL 2026.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has started, and the first week of the competition has already produced many moments to remember. The game in the past few years has changed to become more batter-friendly, and the bowlers have also adapted and are now trying to be smarter with different types of variations and slower deliveries.

Even in these times, fast deliveries are important and still valuable.

This IPL has already seen some of the fastest deliveries from very quick bowlers, both from India as well as overseas players.
