Top 10 current fastest bowlers in international cricket

5. Jasprit Bumrah – 153 KPH

India’s Jasprit Bumrah has captured the imagination of everyone with his success despite a unique action from which he generates tremendous speed without having a long runup. Though it defies every possible coaching manual, Bumrah’s success in all formats of the game has dispelled the notion that he is primarily as a limited-overs bowler.

Bumrah regularly bowls in the high 140kph bracket, but his fastest delivery was 153 kph which he bowled during the 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. He bowled that ball in the first Test at Adelaide Oval and the commentators were amazed to see an Indian bowler reaching such speeds and giving their own bowlers a run for their money.

Bumrah became the first Asian bowler to pick five-wicket hauls in Tests in South Africa, England, Australia, and West Indies. He added a Test hat-trick against the Windies just for an extra boost to his already impressive resume.
