During the 12-over-a-side match in Dublin, Bhuvi bowled an exceptional first spell. However, what caught the Netizen’s eyes was that Bhuvneshwar bowled a ball in the first over which the speedometer showed at 201 kmph. It is worth noting that former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar holds the record for the fastest delivery bowled in international cricket. He had clocked 161.3 kmph.
