10 fastest bowlers in Indian history

#7. S Sreesanth

Sreesanth's wrist positioning aided his pace bowling

S Sreesanth's wrist position won him many accolades, and honed his pace bowling. He bowled an impeccable out-swinger which troubled high-quality batsmen as well.

On his day, Sreesanth could wreak havoc, as he did against South Africa in the Johannesburg Test in 2006, claiming five wickets. However, his promising career ended abruptly due to match-fixing in the IPL.

In 27 Tests, he claimed 87 wickets and touched the 149 kmph which reflected his bowling prowess.
