10 fastest bowlers in Indian history

Third Test - Australia v India: Day 2
RP Singh once clocked the 147 kmph mark

#6. Ashish Nehra

Australia v India - Game 3
Nehra could generate surprising pace

Being a left-arm pacer, Ashish Nehra could bring the ball back into the right-hander at an awkward angle. This ability is one of the key reasons behind his success in international cricket.

But along with swing, he could also bowl at an express pace that made things even more difficult for the batsmen. And on surfaces that aided his style of bowling, he was devastating as he displayed in the 2003 world cup.

In the same tournament against Zimbabwe, he bowled at 149.7 kmph at Durban.
