#4 – Mitchell McClenaghan (Mumbai Indians) – 148.26kph
The second Kiwi on this list, McClenaghan has not been at his fastest in the IPL, but his speed has been enough to put him among the five fastest bowlers of this year.
His figures are the most impressive among the bowlers on this list, as he has been one of Mumbai Indians’ spearheads in the bowling department in the absence of Lasith Malinga. McClenaghan has played all 10 matches of this campaign, picking up 14 wickets at an average of 22.4 and an economy of 8.1.
His speed, and impressive control to harness it, even on Indian pitches, shows why New Zealand opted to go in with two relatively unknown pacers in place of Tim Southee and Trent Boult at the World T20.
