Shaun Tait bowled the fastest ball ever (157.7 kmph) during the 2011 IPL season. Shaun Tait delivered the quickest ball ever in an IPL game. When Aaron Finch was a member of the Delhi Daredevils in 2011, he set a speed record of 157.71 kph. He became one of the fastest bowlers in all of cricket, not just the IPL. He participated in 21 games and took 23 wickets while playing for the Rajasthan Royals over the course of four seasons. The fastest delivery ever bowled in an Indian Premier League game continues to be held by Tait. When Tait was bowling to his fellow countryman Aaron Finch, who was then playing for the Delhi Daredevils (now the Delhi Capitals), during the 2011 IPL, he established the standard.
