Umran Malik and Lockie Ferguson have been having a little battle of their own all season as the pair dominated the charts of IPL 2022 for the fastest delivery of the season. When Umran Malik notched 157kmph earlier in the season, it appeared that he might run away with it, but Ferguson was having none of it.
The Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer clocked 157.3kmph during the final against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
It's actually fitting that Ferguson, who was included in the playing XI for the final in the only change made by Hardik Pandya, and he responded really well.
Here's a video of Lockie Ferguson's firebolt to Jos Buttler:
