#5 Javagal Srinath: 149.6 kmph (92.5 mph) v Australia 1997/98 season
In an era where India was abundant with medium pace bowlers, Javagal Srinath came like a breath of fresh air. He was an out and out fast bowler, regularly bowling in the 90 mph bracket and probably the only Indian bowler to do it consistently for a decent period of time.
Even after a shoulder operation, he managed to make life difficult for the Australian openers in the 1998 Test series in India. This included a ball delivered at 149.6 kmph to Michael Slater.
