Don’t be surprised to see Srinath name once again in this
list that too at top because he has delivered the fastest ball by an Indian on
international stage. Part of 1999 World Cup, Srinath touched 154.5 KMPH (96 MPH) mark
on the speed gun to become the India’s quickest ball deliverer and the second fastest
after Shoiab Akthar in that tournament. Srinath was thought to cross 150 KMPH
more often but lack of quality speed guns they remained to be unofficial
numbers.
