Fastest Bowler In Oneday Cricket History: The first ODI match between India and Australia is being played today on Sunday, 19 October at Perth Stadium. When Mitchell Starc bowled the first ball of this match, the speedometer showed a speed of 176.5 kilometers per hour. Everyone was shocked to see this speed and all the spectators present on the field felt that Shoaib Akhtar’s years old record of bowling the fastest ball was broken. However, after some time the commentators commenting on the match said that actually the speed of that ball was not correct. It was a technical fault in the speedometer, due to which such a speed was seen, whereas the actual speed of the ball was 140.5 kilometers per hour. Now that the fastest ball is being bowled, let us know who are the top-7 bowlers who have bowled the fastest ball in the history of ODI cricket?
