10 fastest bowlers in Indian history

#2. Ishant Sharma

Sharma's height has aided his bowling

Ishant Sharma rose to prominence due to his ability to generate awkward bounce and his probing in-swingers which kept the batsmen on their toes. However, along with these weapons, he also has genuine pace that surprises the batsmen.

The right-arm bowler, when on a song can extract help from the surface and his tall body enhances his pace. His bowling during the CB series in 2008 is regarded as one of his finest performances and during that series, he clocked 150 kmph frequently.

Against Australia at Adelaide, he bowled at 152.6 kmph to become a leading pace bowler in India.
