#1. Javagal Srinath

For those who didn't see Javagal Srinath bowl, his name at the top will come as a surprise, but those who saw him bowl will consider this as nothing but the due appreciation which the pacer demands.
Srinath during his peak was one of the best pace bowlers in world cricket. His smooth action enabled him to pump pace in his deliveries while his accuracy ensured desired results. He spearheaded India's pace department during the 1990's and ended with 236 wickets in 67 Tests.
During the 1999 world cup, against Pakistan, he bowled at 154.5 Kmph to stamp his reputation as India's fastest bowler.
