On Friday, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj created a stir when one of his deliveries was clocked at an astonishing 181.6 KPH during the Adelaide Test against Australia. However, it was later revealed to be a technical error.
The incident sparked a wave of memes and discussions on social media, with many questioning the accuracy of speed guns in cricket. While Siraj’s delivery was undoubtedly fast, it did not break the record for the fastest ball in cricket history, which is currently held by Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhtar at 161.3 KPH.
This incident serves as a reminder that technology, while powerful, can sometimes be fallible. It’s important to rely on verified data and not jump to conclusions based on initial reports.
Despite the error, Siraj’s performance in the Adelaide Test was impressive, and he continues to be a valuable asset to the Indian cricket team.
