5 fastest deliveries bowled by spinners

4. Piyush Chawla to Shane Watson (117 KMPH)

The Uttar Pradesh-born Piyush Chawla spear-headed the spinning department with sheer comfort for India back in the day. Known for his flighted deliveries, Piyush has the capacity to render instant relief to the team with wickets at the right time. Choking the opposition batsmen to the core, the 31-year-old has plucked 32 wickets in ODI for team India.

Moreover, the ace spinner also features in the list of fastest deliveries bowled by a spinner in the history of the game. In the IPL match against Rajasthan Royals, the pocket-size-dynamite representing Kings XI Punjab displayed the propensity of his sheer class. As it turned out, he completely stunned the power-hitter Shane Watson with the excessive pace. Quite surprisingly, the ball read 117 KMPH making the former Aussie star uncomfortable to the extent that he lost his priceless wicket.

In IPL 2020, Piyush plied his trade for the Chennai Super Kings in the UAE. However, he couldn’t stamp his authority under the torrid surface. Eventually, it will be exciting to watch out for the spinner on the cricketing field making a strong comeback.
