Top 10 current fastest bowlers in international cricket
From Mitchell Starc to Jasprit Bumrah, we present you top 10 current fastest bowlers in international cricket with their quickest recorded delivery.
3. Wahab Riaz – 154.5 KPH
Wahab Riaz is perhaps one of the most underrated Pakistan fast bowlers ever. He has the ability to bowl really quick and swing the ball menacingly at that high pace. He can bowl a mean bouncer with that round-arm delivery action of his and it’s only the lack of consistency that has held back the left armer from achieving great things for the team.
Wahab Riaz’s moment of limelight came in the ICC World Cup 2015 in Australia and New Zealand, especially in the quarter-final match against Australia when he bowled perhaps the most fearsome and fastest over ever seen in ODI cricket to Shane Watson to bring his team back in the contest. He bounced out Watson and hit him a couple of times.
But Riaz’s fastest ball was bowled against arch-rivals India earlier in the same tournament, as he sent down a 154.5 kph thunderbolt. He recently announced his retirement from Test cricket to prolong his limited-overs career.
