Mumbai: Pakistani player Shoaib Akhtar is the most amazing bowler in international cricket with an attack speed of more than 150 kmph. Known as the Rawalpindi Express, he bowled 161.3 km/h against Nick Knight in the 2003 World Cup against England, the fastest ball in international cricket. No bowler has broken that record yet. Although the Indian team has had some great fast bowlers, the Indian team has never had a fast bowler as intimidating as Akhtar.
But now 150 km in the Indian team. Umran Malik is known for his ability to bowl over pace. Umran Malik from Jammu and Kashmir bowls at a speed of 150 kmph. Umran was heavily criticized for not being picked in the T20 World Cup. He set a record bowling speed of 163.7 kmph in the T20 series against South Africa. Had the same ball been bowled in an IPL match, it would have been a historic achievement.
In this case, Umran Malik, who is part of the Indian team for the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka, was asked about breaking Akhtar’s record. If I bowl well and with luck, I can break Akhtar’s record. But I didn’t think about that. We don’t know how fast we bowl when we bowl in a match. We will know about it only after the match is over. While bowling in the field, my entire focus is to bowl in the right area and take wickets,” he said.
