Anrich Nortje is one of the fastest bowlers in World cricket. He can consistently bowl above 150+ in his spell. Nortje was a great asset for Delhi in the past few seasons. He missed the 2023 season because of an injury. Nortje came to Delhi’s camp after missing the first game against Punjab. He has not looked clinical since his return. He is struggling to hit that speed that makes him special.
He is also struggling to take wickets and in all four matches he played he leaked many runs. His economy also does not suit his status.

Here is the list of runs conceded by Nortje in the last over.
