Shoaib akhtar ball speed record

Records are made to be broken. Some records, though, seem that will not be broken ever. One such record is of former Pakistani fast bowler In Pakistan’s match against England during the 2003 World Cup in 161.3 km/h (100.2 mph). Clocking 100 mph is a far-fetched dream for most fast bowlers, and Akhtar’s record has now stood for 20 years. However, last year, Playing against India at Chester-le-Street, on September 10, 2022, on her T20I debut, Lauren Bell delivered a ball that was clocked 107 mph (172 km/hr)! This flashed on the big screens, and elicited eyebrow-raising reactions from everyone. Did Lauren Bell actually break Shoaib Akhtar’s record? No. Soon everyone realized that it was a glitch in the speed-measuring machine. The commentators and everyone on social media had a good laugh about this incident. So, Women's sport is so under appreciated. Here's Lauren Bell breaking the record for the fastest delivery ever recorded in history and Mandhana plays it like it's nothing. No fuss. — Imran Escőbar (@razor5edge) Bell returned with figures of 0/25 in 3 overs on her T20I debut. England won the match by 9 wickets, chasing India’s total of 132 with 7 overs left. Meanwhile, Lauren Bell has had a good start to her T20I career. The 22-year-old right-arm pacer has taken 11 wickets in 8 T20Is and is part of the England team in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2023 in South Africa. She has snapped 7 wickets in 5 ODIs and 2 wickets in 1 Test match.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Screengrab from the video tweet by former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar(Twitter) On several occasions, cricket fans wonder what would it be like to face a 150 Kmph yorker from a fast bowler. And it seems Akhtar wanted to give a glimpse of it again. In a post on Twitter, the 47-year-old shared a video containing TV replays from his bowling career when he sent shivers down the spine of batters with his deadly fast yorkers. In a part of the video, Akhtar is seen with an attendant of a bowling machine and asks him to increase the bowling speed to 100 miles per hour(160.9 Kmph) to showcase the viewers how it feels like batting to such high paced deliveries. After the balls whizz past the stumps at fiery speeds, Akhtar boasts of having bowled at 161.3 Kmph in international cricket and asks a bystander to find about it. ALSO READ: “Tap to see what happens when the speed gets to 100,” Akhtar captioned the video. Interestingly, Akhtar does hold the record of having bowled the fastest ball ever in cricket history. He bowled a 161.3 Kmph(100.2 miles per hour) delivery to England opener Nick Knight in an ODI during the 2003 Cricket World Cup at Cape Town in South Africa. It was the last ball of his maiden over, having rattled the England batter with speeds of 153.3 kmph, 158.4kmph, 158.5kmph, 157.4kmph and 159.5kmph in his first five balls. At one time, there was a huge competition between Australia's Brett Lee and Akhtar on who would break the 100mph barrier f...
