[ad_1] Dennis Lillee and Jasprit Bumrah (PC: ICC and BCCI) The host broadcaster’s stump mic in Perth has unhindered clarity unlike the occasionally sparse visuals during replays that nipped a promising KL Rahul’s innings in the bud. As Steve Smith arrived at the crease, Rishabh Pant was in his element. “The legend is pressured,” chirped the Indian wicketkeeper. A ball later, Smith was gone. Jasprit Bumrah made one jag back a mile to trap the former Australia captain leg-before. The stand-in India captain was making the ball talk. In the commentary box, Wasim Akram was ecstatic. “He (Bumrah) is the world’s best bowler,” the legendary former Pakistan quick screamed. That was validation. Bumrah is placed third in the ICC Test bowling rankings, behind Kagiso Rabada and Josh Hazlewood. Who cares! To paraphrase Mark Knopfler, he was giving the Australian batsmen a shiver in the fading light at the Optus Stadium. It felt like he had Smith at his beck and Marnus Labuschagne at his call. The fabled WACA is just a short walk from the Optus Stadium. It is the spiritual home of Dennis Lillee. It’s not known if the great man paid a visit to the new stadium to watch the first day’s play of the first Test between India and Australia. Even watching the action on telly, he must have nodded in approval, notwithstanding his nationality and a redoubtable Aussie swagger. It’s a fast bowlers’ club where Bumrah sits cheek by jowl with the likes of Lillee, Akram, Malcolm Marshall and other all-time greats of the game. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Jasprit Bumrah during the Perth Test (PC: Debasis Sen) Back in 2018, during Bumrah’s first Test series Down Under, Lillee had compared the Indian speedster with Jeff Thomson. “He (Bumrah) is very different from other pacers, which reminds me of another fast bowler of my era, who was very different from everyone else – Jeff Thomson,” Lillee had said. In Perth, as he was making bowling feel like music, Bumrah’s action was dissected by the experts. As awkward as it might be, there’s no faux shtick in the whole process – from his run-up to loading, delivery and follow-through. Bumrah’s wrist does the magic. “What Bumrah does is 101 per cent correct,” former Pakistan fast bowler Aaqib Javed, who is currently a selector and Pakistan’s white-ball coach, told this correspondent a few years ago. “Don’t look into how he is approaching the crease. Look at the end product and that’s perfect. Very few fast bowlers use the height so well. Very few of them transfer weight so smoothly. Also, from his run-up to delivery release, Bumrah’s entire approach is completely linear, using his energy in a straight direction. It gives him more power. To me, he has the best action in the business.” Coming back to Lillee, watching Bumrah, maybe his mind raced back to a time when India had Kapil Dev and a few other medium pacers around him, bowling dibbly-dobblies. The Australian was given the responsibility to groom fast bowlers at the MRF Pace Foundation. It took time, a couple of generations to be precise. But Lillee and the MRF Pace Foundation’s influence wasn’t limited to Chennai only. Bumrah is the fulcrum of a process that started with Javagal Srinath followed by Zaheer Khan and other fast bowlers. But no one is like the smiling assassin, for he is one of a kind. Bumrah is someone whom Andy Roberts told: “You could have taken the new ball in our XI.” Also Read: How a Durga Puja gave India’s Test team its Bumrah X-factor The post Close to Lillee’s spiritual home, Bumrah sings merry song of fast bowling appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

India’s Fast Bowling Evolution: From Spin Dominance to Pace Prowess

Rising Stars: Umran Malik and Mayank Yadav

Among the new generation of Indian fast bowlers, Umran Malik stands out as a sensation. Hailing from Jammu & Kashmir, Umran made headlines by consistently bowling above 150 km/h, with his fastest delivery clocked at a staggering 157 km/h during an IPL match. His raw pace and ability to intimidate batsmen have made him one of the most exciting prospects in Indian cricket. Similarly, Mayank Yadav, from Delhi, has quickly risen through the ranks, bowling at 156.7 km/h in the IPL 2024 season, securing his place as the second-fastest Indian bowler in history.

The Legacy of Pioneers: Javagal Srinath and Irfan Pathan

Veteran fast bowler Javagal Srinath was a pioneer in Indian pace bowling during the 1990s, regularly clocking speeds up to 154.5 km/h. His ability to combine speed with swing made him a key figure in India’s bowling attack. Irfan Pathan, known primarily for his swing, also delivered serious pace, with his fastest ball recorded at 153.7 km/h. His ability to move the ball at high speeds made him a formidable opponent in his prime.

Current Pace Masters: Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah

Mohammed Shami, a key member of India’s current pace attack, has been instrumental in India’s success across all formats. His fastest delivery of 153.3 km/h is a testament to his speed and skill, particularly his ability to reverse swing the ball at high velocities. Another prominent name in contemporary Indian cricket is Jasprit Bumrah. Known for his unique bowling action and deadly accuracy, Bumrah’s fastest delivery clocked at 153.26 km/h has made him one of the most feared fast bowlers globally.

Speed Sensations: Navdeep Saini, Ishant Sharma, and Umesh Yadav

Navdeep Saini, another exciting talent, made headlines with his express pace during the IPL, regularly bowling over 150 km/h. His fastest delivery of 152.85 km/h places him among India’s elite fast bowlers. Veteran Ishant Sharma, with over a decade of experience, continues to be a vital part of India’s pace attack. His top speed of 152.6 km/h, combined with his height and ability to extract bounce, has troubled batsmen worldwide.

Umesh Yadav, known for his raw pace, has consistently bowled at high speeds with minimal effort. His fastest delivery, clocked at 152.2 km/h, showcases his natural fast-bowling talent. Varun Aaron, another speedster, has also consistently delivered at high speeds, with his fastest delivery recorded at 152.5 km/h. Although injuries have limited his international career, Aaron remains a significant name in Indian fast bowling.

The Future of Indian Fast Bowling: Emerging Stars

The future of Indian fast bowling looks promising, with emerging talents like Mukesh Choudhary, Mohsin Khan, and Kuldeep Sen making their mark in domestic cricket and the IPL. These bowlers, along with the established names, ensure that India’s pace attack will continue to evolve, bringing thrilling moments to the game and setting new benchmarks in speed and skill.

Happy Birthday Javagal Srinath! The Mysore Express still races in our Hearts.

[stoookes]

Ive been looking through the indian squad in the 2000s and tbh none of the players there really stand out as omegas, secret or otherwise, to me?? like yuvraj singh, harbhajan singh, ashish nehra, zaheer khan, sreesanth-- all of them are certified alphas, totally playing into the stereotype of the hot-headed alpha male. anil kumble also gives major alpha vibes to me. venkatesh prasad and javagal srinath, the noted fast bowling combination of the 2000s-- im dithering a bit on whether they're alphas or betas. maybe more on the beta side tho, just to balance it out. virender sehwag is again an alpha, no doubt about that. irfan and yusuf pathan are alphas too ig, i think irfan even had a party boy image in his early days. vvs laxman is a beta. mohammad kaif and suresh raina can also be betas.

also i know why sachin tendulkar, rahul dravid and mahendra singh dhoni might feel like betas or even omegas in hiding, but idk to me i like these three specifically as alphas. because sachin, rahul and mahi are renowned for being gentlemen and being cool and calm. yk they're literally an antithesis to the traditional alpha stereotypes so the way vk subverts expectations that omegas must be quiet, demure and meek, the same way sachin, rahul and mahi can be instrumental towards proving that alphas don't necessarily have to always be violent, aggressive, dominant, and lewd with omegas. alphas can also be respectful, level-headed and conciliatory.

also, along the lines of what a previous anon said, sourav ganguly can be a secret omega! now tbh sourav gives me more alpha vibes, but i can see him being the indian equivalent of stu, trying his best to fit into the traditional alpha stereotypes of the times. and again since sourav was considered a great leader, a position that the world considers only alphas can be successful at, theres that breaking of expectations like with vk, for sourav, hands down our most aggressive and revolutionary captains, to be omega all along. and as someone who has family in kolkata (sourav's hometown), i can confirm that he really does come from a very moneyed family, so affording the indian equivalent of antarax would be no problem for him. also sourav x rahul dravid used to be a big ship back in the day, idk if you know! their teammates, even now, keep calling them "our mum and dad" and rahul publically said that "being captain and vice captain for so long, our relationship is like husband and wife at this point"'. 😭🤌🏻 they were practically the cookerson of their times. so rahul being the only one who knew sourav was omega all along and still supporting him no matter what ahhhh 😭😭😭

Aww that sourav/rahul is cute - I like that 🥰

I mean, we don’t have to have hiding omegas if it doesn’t work until later, it is just possible that there could be more of them. There are more hiding omegas; they’re everywhere 😂

Even when VK and Tim and others are out and proud, it still doesn’t mean all omegas are going to be comfortable with that. Even still some will take the hidden route, preferring to just play than play with the stresses that come along with being omega

[ad_1] Shami will miss the upcoming series (PC: X.com) Atreyo Mukhopadhyay in Bengaluru Will Mohammed Shami play? After a few weeks of speculating and hoping against hope, the answer is in the negative. This has happened a number of times over the last few years, since the fast bowler burst onto the international stage in 2013. As a crucial Test tour of Australia lurks on the horizon, this question resurfaced. And, there is no answer yet. While this bowler with exceptional skills has been deadly with his immaculate seam position, pace and accuracy, he has also been prone to breakdowns. Otherwise, after over a decade, he would have taken part in more than 64 Tests and 101 ODIs. His abilities are unquestionable, as is evident from his records. The devastating spells he delivered in last year’s 50-over World Cup are fresh in memory. In the Test format also, Shami is a match-winner. However, the time has come to ask if India should plan ahead for life without Shami. He has been playing for a long time, his body is unlikely to get stronger and there is always a question over his fitness. To his credit, Shami did stay injury-free for a long time and served his team with distinction in top events. But can this last for as long as one wishes? Rohit Sharma was candid at the press conference a day before the first Test against New Zealand, when asked about Shami’s chances of going to Australia. “To be honest, right now it is pretty difficult for us to make a call on him. He recently had a setback. He had a swelling in his knee, which was quite unusual while he was in the process of getting close to 100%. That put him back a little bit in his recovery. He had to start afresh,” said the India captain. Later on, RevSportz correspondent Subhayan Chakraborty reported that the bowler with roots in Uttar Pradesh requires six more weeks. If, for the sake of argument, it is believed that Shami will be fit in six weeks, he will still have to prove his match-readiness in first-class games. The options are Ranji Trophy fixtures and an India A tour of Australia. After that, the selectors and the team management will have to take a call. Will they have adequate time for that? Since these questions linger and continue to cast a shadow over the international future of the bowler representing Bengal, it’s perhaps prudent to look ahead instead of thinking what could have been. That Prasidh Krishna and Mayank Yadav have been named travelling reserves for the New Zealand series, suggests that the people who matter are evaluating options. There are more, like Akash Deep, Mukesh Kumar, Yash Dayal and Avesh Khan trying to make a mark. “The physios, trainers and doctors have set a roadmap for him (Shami). He is supposed to play a couple of games before he plays international cricket. So, we will see where he is after this New Zealand series, and then take a call at what stage of Australia he will be fit for us. Right now, we are keeping our fingers crossed. We want him to be 100% fit. We don’t want to bring an undercooked Shami to Australia,” Rohit said. He is not mentioned alongside the greatest of Indian fast bowlers after Kapil Dev. But, on his day, Shami is not inferior to Javagal Srinath or Zaheer Khan. Even when playing alongside Jasprit Bumrah, there were times when he outperformed him in terms of impact on the opposition. That said, everything has to come to an end. An ageing Shami of proven qualities faces this unenviable challenge of turning the clock back. For latest updates:  Will Anwar make a diff?
