Mohammed Shami’s Fastest Ball In Cricket

One of the finest bowlers of India in the last 10-12 years, Mohammed Shami bowled his fastest delivery in professional cricket during the 2014 India tour of Australia. The visitors were playing the Aussies in the 3rd test in Melbourne. During the match, the Moradabad seamer clocked 153.2 km/hr, the 3rd fastest ball by an Indian in international cricket. The match ended as a draw and Shami finished the match with six wickets in his name by toiling hard. He even was the pick of the bowler for India in the series with 15 scalps in 3 matches.

When Shami busted into the scene in 2011 with a fifer on debut he demonstrated the rare skill of reverse swing. But over the years, he has worked on his craft and now can swing the ball both ways with sufficient pace and straight seam to bamboozle the batsmen. He is an incredible asset to India in tests and ODIs at home and away equally. Shami can click 140-145 km/hr on average at any point of the game.
