Ranking top 10 strongest throwing arms in world cricket currently

3. Virat Kohli (India)

Probably the biggest name on this list, Virat Kohli has been dominating the cricketing world for over a decade. He has scored 9,230 runs in Test cricket with an average of 46.85. Talking about his ODI format, Kohli has scored 14,096 runs with a spectacular average of 58. Without any doubt, he is one of the best batters in the world right now. Few players in the world can pick up the ball and throw it in a single motion. Virat Kohli is one of them. He has been the cause of so many run-outs for his opposition team. As he is one of the fittest cricketers in the world, fielding is quite an easy job for Kohli.

He also is responsible for setting up a standard in the world of fielding for his national squad. How competitive the Indian stalwart about his fielding is can be understood by the fact that recently in the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal against Australia, while the Aussies were batting in the first innings, to stop Steve Smith from taking another run, he darted back with a sharp throw from the outfield, which nearly hit the stumps. But bowler Kuldeep Yadav was reluctant to collect the ball trusting Kohli's sheer precision and also to avoid the impact of the power of the throw on his hands. Notably, the incident took place in the 32nd over of Australia's innings while the Delhi-based player was furious at Kuldeep for not collecting the ball, which may have resulted in an overthrow boundary.
