Ashok scripts history with fastest ball
It was an explosive yorker that wicketkeeper Jurel managed to keep out as he brought his bat down at the last moment. However, the Rajasthan batter was left clueless as to where the ball had gone after making contact. He bowled this delivery despite having suffered a blow to his finger in the last ball. After some treatment with an ice pack, he came back in a fiery mode leaving everyone stunned.
