Five fastest bowlers currently in world cricket

#2. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the causes of India's dominance in world cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah is a jewel of the Indian cricket team, and has every weapon of a potent fast bowler. Over time, he has even developed a good in-swinger which was seen in the tour of England and has worked on his pace since he broke out on the international stage. At first, he used to bowl at speeds of 135 kmph but he can now bowl at speeds of 153 kmph as he showed on the Australia tour.

Playing his impeccable yorker is a challenge for most batsmen and that is one reason why he is such a good death bowler. Recently the Indian team beat Australia in tests for the first time away from home. He presented an outstanding specimen of fast bowling throughout the series and kept the pressure on the opposition batsmen. Bumrah's unique bowling action adds to his potency.

It is not wrong to say that the speed of Bumrah is increasing over time as it has already increased by nearly 15 kmph, and if he keeps this up he can reach Shoaib's record. Bumrah has so far taken 78 wickets at an average of 21 in one-day cricket.
