Who broke Shoaib Akhtar’s fastest-ball record?

Pakistan fast bowler, Hasan Ali who was lambasted for his performance in the semi-final of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, made an impressive comeback in the first T20I out of three-match series between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Dhaka, Bangladesh on Friday.

The pacer took three wickets and conceded just 22 runs in four overs. He dismissed the likes of Mohammad Naim, Nurul Hasan, and Aminul Islam.

However, fans were left surprised when Hasan bowled at a speed of 219 kph, the fastest ball in the history of cricket. The second delivery of his spell went at 219 kph.

Actually, something went wrong with a speed gun as it is impossible for a human to bowl at that pace. Fans were quick to spot the speed and reacted hilariously on social media.

The right-arm pacer from Pakistan bowled the fastest delivery in international cricket during the World Cup in 2003. Shoaib Akhar clocked 161.3 kph against England at Capetown.
