Watching cricket is an unforgettable experience when a batter on the crease assumes an erect posture to take on the fantastic Indian fast bowlers. The bowlers on the
Indian cricket team of today are among the greatest in the world. Any fan will be pleased to provide you with a list of fast Indian bowlers if you ask them. Some argue that because pacers are India's all-time finest fast bowlers, they are replacing spinners. As you read the post, you will learn about the top Indian fast bowlers.
Umran Malik, who replaced T Natarajan, a covid-19 positive player, in an
IPL 2021 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad, captured everyone's attention. Everyone was speechless when he bowled five consecutive balls at a speed of more than 150 km/h. At the 2022 auction, SRH decided to keep him on and give him a regular position on the team because he seemed like a long-term investment. He hit 157 km/h at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai while competing against Delhi Capitals, the fastest an Indian bowler has ever bowled at.
Irfan Pathan ranks second among India's fastest bowlers despite being primarily known for his new ball-swinging skills. He possessed a unique talent for swinging the new ball in both directions, making it challenging for a hitter to predict the swing and make a play based on merit. In the 2007
T20 World Cup match between India and
Pakistan, the left-handed pacer had a speed of 153.7 km/h.
India ultimately won. He had an outstanding campaign, taking 10 wickets in six innings at a 6.77 economy.
Mohammed Shami is one of this nation's all-time best fast bowlers. In terms of pace, swing, or accuracy, he possesses practically everything. Any batter in the world has difficulty playing him while he is in rhyme. However, in recent years, he has moderated his tempo and paid more attention to his line and length. At Melbourne Stadium in a 2014 Test match against
Australia, Shami delivered the ball at a speed of 153.3 km/h. He had an outstanding series, taking 15 wickets in three games.
Jasprit Bumrah, who is only 28 years old, is already one of the greatest Indian cricket bowlers in history. He is possibly the complete bowler of the present day. He is proficient in all formats and can bowl at any point throughout the match. He is in charge of the Indian pace assault because of this. During the opening Test of the 2018 Border-Gavaskar series, the unconventional pacer threw a 153.2 km/h delivery. He finished the series with 21 wickets, and India went on to take home the series victory for the first time ever.
Navdeep Saini did suddenly become well-known for his pinpoint yorkers and fast speed. He became an essential member of Royal Challengers Bangalore and even recorded a 152.8 against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2019. However, he later developed an injury history and eventually lost his position on the team. He hasn't been up to par since, leaking runs in white-ball cricket at an alarming rate. He is not currently part of the Indian national team's lineup.
RP Singh is still remembered as the most notable bowler for the previous
Indian cricket team. Even the best bowlers of his era could not match his amazing pace of play. At his prime, RP Singh was India's top fast bowler, at times ranking with Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhtar. One of the greatest moments in cricket history to date is when he took a 5-wicket haul against Pakistan on his Test debut.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, sometimes called Bhuvi, is a significant source of inspiration for the young bowlers on the Indian cricket team. Known for his in-swings, the right-arm medium pacer consistently ranks among the top Indian pace bowlers. He has the incredible distinction of being the first Indian bowler to amass a 5-wicket haul across all modern-day cricket formats. Despite being a medium pacer and bowling at 140 kilometers per hour, he is counted among the Indian fast bowlers.
India always has budding talents, especially when it comes to cricket. India has been the best bowler in the world in cricket history. Compared to nations like
Australia, the West Indies,
Pakistan, and others in the past, India used to fall short in pace bowling. Only a few Indian bowlers could reach speeds of approximately 150 km/h, which were common for many bowlers worldwide.
