Siraj bowled at a speed of 181.6kmph?
This incident happened in the 25th over of Australia's innings. Mohammad Siraj bowled the fourth ball of this over on which the broadcaster showed the speed of his ball as 181.6 kmph. Everyone was surprised to see this. Fans thought that the Indian bowler had set a new record, but this is not true. Due to the broadcaster's mistake, the wrong speed was seen on the screen.
Mohd Siraj bowls the fastest ball in cricket history. Look at speed gun!
Siraj broke Shoaib Akhtar's record?
It is known that the world record for throwing the fastest ball is registered in the name of former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar. He bowled the ball at a speed of 161.3 kmph against England in the 2003 World Cup. In the video that is viral on social media, the speed of Siraj's ball shown is much more than this. In such a situation, fans claim that he broke Shoaib Akhtar's world record. However, this is not true. This happened entirely due to the broadcaster's mistake.
Siraj got angry at Labuschagne.
In this over, Mohammad Siraj and Marnus Labuschagne came face to face. Actually, Siraj was ready to bowl the last ball of his over, he had taken a run-up. Then Labuschagne saw a man passing in front of the sight screen. He had trouble concentrating, so he stopped Siraj from bowling. Siraj got angry when Labuschagne stepped back. In anger, he threw the ball towards the Australian batsman and sledged him. Its video is also viral on social media.
