IPL 2026: The Unsung Speed Merchants - Meet The Throwdown Specialists Supporting Delhi Capitals
Legends League Cricket: Before the Delhi Capitals begin their practice sessions in IPL 2026, three men are already at the stadium and quietly set up the practice nets. In their kit bags, they carry no bats, caps, gloves or pads. What they carry instead are a variety of balls and sidearm throwers with which they make the batters practice relentlessly ahead of every match day.
Aniket Berde, Darshan Singh, and Sai Pendum arm themselves with their sidearm throwers and hurl a cricket ball at velocities that would make most first-class bowlers blink.
Aniket tops out around 150 kph, while Pendum has clocked 155 kph. They can swing the new ball, reverse the old one, replicate a left-armer's angle, as well as bowl the skiddy deliveries or the toe-crushing yorker in Lasith Malinga or Matheesha Pathirana style from 18 yards.
