Maphaka bowls 150KPH as an 18 yrs old.

There is a reason why he is dubbed the next Rabada coz if u compare Rabada's progression in his younger days to maphka's their are similarities and if anything Maphaka has been better at a younger age.

He showed his yorkers, bouncers, slower ball, etc. in U19 wc and since then he has only grown, he consitently bowled 145+ KPH in his first 2 overs today and even crossed 150 twice, he was also great with his length bowling wide yorker and trying to keep the bowl away from batters. Ended the 2 overs at 8 runs for 1 wkt. He also played a crucial innings of 12(11) and saved the SA innings from getting all out.

A lot of u guys probably have his image as someone who got smacked last IPL but that is a very wrong judgement. Last year MI were struggling from lack of fast bowling options(due to injuries of their foreign options) and they fielded an 18 year old without giving him much time to adjust to Indian conditions or grooming him enough to be able to handle IPL pressure but he has improved a lot since then(140 KPH to 150 KPH) and at RR will have enough time to grow.

Really feel that he will do wonders for us if not this season than from the next, his speed most likely will cross 150 as he gets older, add to that his variations. We might have struck gold.

His second over speed- 147,138,149,151,147,152 🔥 🔥 🔥 

PS- He got the wkts of both pakistani ultra legends of Babar and Rizwan 😂.
