After the defeat in the first ODI, Shubman Gill said, “When you lose three wickets in the powerplay, it is never easy. You always try to make a comeback. There was a lot to learn from this match. We took the match deep by defending 130 runs in 26 overs, so we are satisfied with that.”

He said that the huge crowd of fans in the stadiums will motivate the team on the limited overs tour. Gill said, “We are fortunate that wherever we play, fans come in large numbers. Hopefully they will cheer us on in Adelaide as well.”

After Australia’s win, Mitchell Marsh said, “The weather took its toll today. Thank you to all the fans who stayed on the field. It feels good to get a win. It’s always good to win at home. I love playing for Australia. The ball was swinging a bit. We knew that would be the case for both teams, so it was a bit difficult to reach the target. I’m proud of our young players who came out on the field and got us the win.”

Mitchell Starc made a world record on the very first ball of India vs Australia ODI series? He bowled the first over of the match, in which he bowled the first ball to Rohit Sharma. Everyone was surprised to see the speed of this ball in meters. The speed of this ball was shown to be 176.5 km per hour, which is faster than Shoaib Akhtar’s world record.

fastest ball in cricket history

The record of bowling the fastest ball is in the name of former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar. Akhtar, popularly known as Rawalpindi Express, had bowled the ball at a speed of 161.3 km per hour to England batsman Nick Knight in the 2003 World Cup. Till now, this ball is the fastest ball in the history of cricket, but the ball bowled by Mitchell Starc to Rohit was shown at 176.5 kph.

What is the truth?

A screenshot is going viral on social media claiming that Mitchell Starc bowled the ball to Rohit Sharma at a speed of 176.5 km per hour, which is more than Shoaib Akhtar’s world record (161.3 kph). So has Mitchell Starc made a world record? The answer is no, because it happened due to a mistake.

The first ball bowled by Mitchell Starc was a ball with a speed of 140.8 km per hour, but due to a technical error it was shown as 176.5. That is, the claim that Mitchell Starc broke Shoaib Akhtar’s world record of bowling the fastest ball is completely wrong.
