Though cricket is a game of batting and bowling, often it's batsmen who steal highlights of a match, and bowlers are celebrated on seldom occasions. But when the fastest bowlers come in the action, even the best batsmen struggle to thrive on the field. We have seen this yesterday when Umran Malik delivered a lightning strike bowl at 150 kmph during IPL 2022.

If this seems fastest to you, what will you say about the top 10 fastest bowlers of all time who throw the ball at a speed more than a cheetah’s running speed?
