IPL 2018: Fastest bowlers on show

#4 Billy Stanlake

This lanky, 6'8" tall pacer from Queensland, Australia will be representing the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2018. In the Trans-Tasman T20 Tri-Series, he clocked a record speed of 151.57 kmph against New Zealand. The prospect of facing Billy can give sleepless nights to even the best of batsmen. He bowls consistently in the late 140s and can be a very tricky customer to deal with, given his height.

Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has called him the next big thing in Australian cricket and is of the opinion that Billy has the potential to be one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time. Billy has had issues with his back in the past and might have to manage his workload going into the long international season ahead. The Sunrisers Hyderabad have always primarily invested in a good bowling attack and Billy would want to repay the faith the team has in him.

Expect a couple of nasty bouncers from Billy!
