Shoaib Akhtar’s record-breaking ball of 161.3 km/h in the 2003 ICC World Cup still holds the title for the fastest ball in cricket history. Some believe that Brett Lee, Shaun Tait, and Anrich Nortje have surpassed this speed in recent times. Regardless, Akhtar’s feat remains one of the greatest achievements in the sport. Cricket fans around the world continue to be fascinated by the incredible speed and power of fast bowlers and their ability to make the most skilled batsmen tremble.
