Ranking top 10 strongest throwing arms in world cricket currently

8. Shreyas Iyer (India)

Fielding has become one of the most critical facets of the game and players like Shreyas Iyer truly exemplify how impactful a strong throwing arm can be to change the complexion of a match. Whether fielding close or inside the 30-yard circle or on the boundary, squeezing every bit of run can result in changing the result of a match, especially in a see-saw battle.

One of the prime examples of Iyer's fielding brilliance was seen in the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal against Australia, where a bullet throw from Iyer resulted in Alex Carey getting run out when he was batting well and tried to up the ante to help the Men in Yellow post a big total on the board in the final stages of the innings. However, courtesy of Carey's wicket in the 48th over, the side soon collapsed to a somewhat competitive total of 264, rather than setting a massive target for Team India.  and almost single-handedly anchoring the innings.
