Nortje, taking part in his second match for Delhi this season, bowled the highest eight quickest deliveries of IPL 2021, three of which crossed the 150 kmph mark. The 27-year-old South African completed with glorious figures of two for 12 in his 4 overs.

Nortje hit 151.71 kmph, 151.37 kmph, 150.21 kmph, 149.97 kmph, 149.29 kmph, 149.15 kmph and 148.76 kmph. The fiery magic prompted former India cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra to demand a dashing ticket for Nortje. Chopra tweeted, “Challan for over-speeding #SeriousSpace.”
Nortje and Rabada had been sensible with the ball as they pulled out additional bounce and tempo from a comparatively quick and sluggish wicket to demolish SRH’s high order.
