Shoaib akhtar fastest ball kph

Taking a trip down the memory lane, Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar opened up about becoming the fastest bowler in the history of world cricket. Nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express, Akhtar bowled the fastest delivery during the 2003 World Cup. The former Pakistan pacer made his debut against West Indies at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in 1997. Speaking to Sportskeeda about his meteoric rise in world cricket, Akthar explained how he generated extra pace to breach the 100 miles record in international cricket. "When you touch 155 kph as a bowler, remember that you have another 5 kph inside you. However, adding that extra pace to your bowling requires specific training. Before I broke the 100 miles record, I was bowling at speeds of 157-158 kph but I was not able to reach 160. I was a bit baffled over the same, wondering why it was not happening," Akhtar said. In his quest to become the fastest bowler on the planet, Akhtar even used to pull vehicles at night in Islamabad. From legendary Australian batter Ricky Ponting to West Indies’ batting icon Brian Lara, Pakistan’s fast bowling great Akhtar ended up rattling some of the best in the business with his lethal pace. "I began by running with tires but soon realized that they are light. Next, I started pulling small vehicles with my shoulders. There is less public in Islamabad, so I used to pull vehicles in the night. I used to match its speed with the pace of my run-up. I realized that the vehicle is also small, so I started pulling a tru...

Nortje's fastest ball was delivered on Wednesday in his first over against Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler. The Royals batsman had already moved to his right to play a pre-meditated scoop, which zipped away for four past fine leg from the toe-end of the bat. At the post-match presentation, Nortje said he opted not not go for any variation and stuck to his "strength". He then bowled a 155 kph seaming in delivery that rocked back Buttler's off stump. "The two important things for me that changed it was, you have to be strong and understand what you're doing in the gym," he explained. "Not go for a beach body, but do the right things while gymming. The basic thing that helped me and is easy to control is a braced front leg and a strong front arm. So those are the two things I focus on."
