Top 10 current fastest bowlers in international cricket

2. Jofra Archer – 155 KPH

Jofra Archer has taken the world cricket with a storm ever since his pace and bounce took the English county cricket with surprise. Archer has also taken the Indian Premier League by storm with his performances on dead pitches in the league for Rajasthan Royals. He made an impactful contribution to England’s maiden World Cup triumph, especially in the final match against New Zealand.

However, in his short career, Archer has impressed the best of the best with his ability to generate serious pace and bounce from a relatively stress-free bowling action and something sinister was on display when he made his debut for England in Ashes 2019 against Australia. He started off with a loosener at 88.3 mph (142 kph) at Lord’s in London, but cranked it up to 93.7 mph (151 kph) and ended the over with a flash-like 96.1 mph (155 kph).

The highlight of that match was Archer felling the star Australian batsman Steve Smith in the first innings with a vicious bouncer, which hit the batsman on the back of the head and resulted in him being ruled out of the Lord’s Test and the next Test due to concussion issues. Jofra Archer had arrived in style.
