Bharat was asked that –
Asked whether Umran Malik would ever be able to break Shoaib Akhtar‘s record of bowling the fastest ball in ODIs. Bharat gave a funny answer to this. Please tell that Shoaib Akhtar had bowled at a speed of 161.3 kmph in the 2003 ODI World Cup against England. This is the record of bowling the fastest ball in world cricket.
Bharat said – “If you work on your action, your line and length will improve. Also speed will increase. Drills are helpful to increase speed and workload monitoring is also important.”
“Any bowler can increase his speed to 5 kmph by working. But if someone is bowling at 125 kmph, it is impossible for him to reach 150. 135 wala 140 or 140 wala 145 Maybe. Not more than that.”
