In a bizarre incident, the speed gun at the Adelaide Oval went haywire, declaring Muhammad Siraj the fastest bowler in the world!
On the first day of the second Test match between Australia and India , the speed gun displayed an unbelievable speed of 181.6 km/h (112.8 mph) for Siraj’s delivery.
We’re talking faster-than-a-Cheetos-fueled-cheetah kind of speed!
But, spoiler alert! It was just a technical glitch. The actual speed was, well, not quite as impressive. Still, it was a funny moment that left everyone in stitches!
Let’s be real, though – the record for the fastest delivery in cricket history still belongs to the one and only Shoaib Akhtar, who clocked an insane 161.3 km/h (100.2 mph) back in the day!
