IPL 2018: Fastest bowlers on show

Pace and aggression are two things that come to mind when you think of the ideal fast bowler. Who doesn't enjoy a good spell of fast bowling, with one ball zipping past the ears of the batsman and the next one making him fend the ball off his toes.

There have been a number of world class fast bowlers who've represented various franchises in the IPL over the years, Bret Lee, Shoaib Akhtar and Dale Steyn, to name a few. This year too, there are quite a few quicks on show who will be an absolute delight to watch. Here are 5 bowlers you should look out for if you enjoy watching good fast bowling spells.

#5 Mark Wood

Mark Wood is an English fast bowler who bowls consistently around 90mph. He will be playing for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2018. He has taken 8 wickets in 4 T20I matches for England, at an extraordinary bowling average of 17. He will be looking to make an impact and pick up wickets for the Chennai team this year. He is excellent in the death overs and can be very hard to get away. Wood has an excellent slower ball in his arsenal which he will hope to deploy to good effect in the IPL this year.

Wood has a good, rhythmic bowling action and has been in splendid form for England in the ongoing series against New Zealand. Mark has grown leaps and bounds and is currently a regular in the England cricket team in all three formats of the game. He will be playing his maiden IPL and will look to be positive and give his best for CSK.

Watch out for Mark Wood!
