The fast bowler allegedly bowled at 181.6 kmph, according to a video that is going viral on social media. Australia and India are currently playing a five-match Test series, with the second match starting on Friday in Adelaide. Mohammad Siraj bowled at an economy rate of 2.90 in this match, but he was unsuccessful. The fast bowler allegedly bowled at 181.6 kmph, according to a video that is currently going viral on social media.
The ball was bowled by Siraj at 181.6 kmph.
In the 25th over of Australia’s innings, this incident took place. The fourth ball of this over was bowled by Muhammad Siraj, and the broadcaster displayed the ball’s speed as 181.6 km/h. Everyone was taken aback by this. The Indian bowler did not set a new record, despite what fans believed. The incorrect speed was displayed on the screen as a result of the broadcaster’s error.
Shoaib Akhtar’s record was broken by Siraj.
It is known that Shoaib Akhtar, a former fast bowler for Pakistan, holds the world record for throwing the fastest ball. In the 2003 World Cup match against England, he bowled the ball at 161.3 kmph. The speed of Siraj’s ball is significantly higher in the social media video that went viral. Fans say he broke the world record set by Shoaib Akhtar in such a scenario. This is untrue, though. The broadcaster’s error was solely to blame for this.
Siraj got angry at Labuschagne
Mohammad Siraj and Marnus Labuschagne faced off in this over. Siraj had actually taken a run-up and was prepared to bowl the final ball of his over. Labuschagne then noticed a man walking past the sight screen. Due to his inability to focus, he prevented Siraj from bowling. The retreat of Labuschagne infuriated Siraj. He sledded the Australian batsman after hurling the ball in his direction out of rage. On social media, its video has also gone viral.
