The Fastest Bowler of World Ever
Shoaib Akhtar is one of the fastest bowlers in cricket. Akhtar has a number of fast bowling records.
He has bowled at speeds of 161.3kph, 160kph 3x, 159kph and 158.4kph.
The fastest three were against New Zealand in 2002 and the other three were against Sri Lanka in 2002 also. He was the first bowler in the history of cricket to have been recorded to bowl over 100 mph,
though there were suggestions that others may have achieved the feat prior to the speed being recorded, notably his fellow team mate Mohammed Sami, who was timed 100.08mph against India.
