10 fastest bowlers in Indian history

#4. Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav has pace as well as accuracy

Umesh Yadav brings to the table a combination which is rare in Indian cricket. He combines pace with effective control. He made his mark in domestic cricket courtesy of his express speeds but soon realised that to strive in international cricket he needed more than just raw pace.

Hence he worked hard on his accuracy, swing, and fitness and has emerged as a reliable pacer for all formats. Like other pacers, he too was expensive during his initial years but now with improved bowling action, he has learned the skill of keeping the batsmen quiet.

In the tri-series in Australia in 2012, he bowled at 152.5 kmph against Sri Lanka at Brisbane.
