- Shoaib Akhtar – 161.3
Hardcore cricket fans would possibly like him a lot for his blistering pace to his bowling attack. When he used to run at full speed to pitch the ball, even top class batsmen feared the worst and didn’t want to take any risk. Akhtar delivered the fastest ball that clocked 161.3 kmph and it was Nick Knight who faced the quickest delivery. So far no other bowler surpassed that milestone.
