One of the fastest bowlers in the world with a slingy action and express pace.
Anrich Nortje was born on 16 November 1993 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. He made his international debut in 2019 and rapidly established himself as one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket, regularly topping 150 km/h (93+ mph). His slingy, low-armed action makes him hard to pick for batsmen. Nortje has played Tests, ODIs and T20Is and been a key performer in the IPL for Delhi Capitals. He has taken 100+ Test wickets and is regarded as South Africa's spearhead alongside Kagiso Rabada. Injuries have occasionally disrupted his availability.
