While Umran has already become one of the fastest bowlers from the country, let’s take a look at some of the quickest bowlers that India has produced so far. Also, note that the list caters to cricketers who played at the international level after the introduction of the speed tracking device by the ICC.
Javagal Srinath
The veteran Indian pacer is said to have bowled the fastest ball by an India quick. The Karnataka cricketer clocked 149.6kph to become the second-fastest bowler in the 1999 World Cup, only after Shoaib Akhtar. Unofficially reports also suggest that Srinath could have breached the 157kph-mark during India’s tour to South Africa in 1996, but the presence of reliable speed guns ensures that the number doesn’t make it to the official list.
