#2 Mohammed Siraj, India
The young seamer from Hyderabad is one of the brightest talents in Indian cricket at the moment. Mohammed Siraj played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2018 and picked up 11 wickets from 11 games. The 24-year-old bowled the fourth fastest ball in IPL 2018 when he clocked 149.94 kmph in a game against KKR.
Chris Lynn was the batsman and it also turned out to be the fastest delivery bowled by an Indian seamer last season. Siraj made his T20I debut for India in November and also played his first ODI game on Monday at Adelaide. Expect him to break the 150 kmph barrier this season.
#1 Adam Milne, New Zealand
Adam Milne is regarded as one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket at the moment, if not the fastest. The Kiwi seamer has bowled some real quick deliveries in international cricket. He came in as a replacement for the injured Pat Cummins in IPL 2018 and was retained by Mumbai Indians.
Known to push the speed gun past 150 kmph on a consistent basis, Milne is expected is play an important role for Mumbai this season. In a T20I game against West Indies at Eden Park, Milne registered a whopping 153.3 kmph on the speed gun. The 26-year-old’s fastest ball in IPL is clocked at 148.83 kmph.
