    Mohammed Siraj’s Speed Gun Controversy

    During the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 in Adelaide, Mohammed Siraj stunned everyone by allegedly bowling a ball at 181.6 kph. The speedometer readings seemed to break Shoaib Akhtar’s world record, leaving fans and broadcasters baffled. However, it was soon clarified as a technical glitch.

    Matheesha Pathirana’s 175 kph Ball: Fact or Fiction?

    In the 2020 ICC U19 World Cup, Sri Lanka’s young speedster Matheesha Pathirana became the talk of the cricketing world when the speed gun recorded his delivery at 175 kph. The wide bouncer against India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal initially created excitement as the fastest ball in cricket history. However, the record was later dismissed due to technical issues.

    Pathirana’s Remarkable Feat

    Pathirana’s slinging action, reminiscent of Lasith Malinga, made him a star even before he debuted for the senior Sri Lankan team. Despite the controversy, his bowling remains lethal, earning him recognition in global cricket.
