There was some Pakistani poster, I think @Ellipsism who was questioning how many bowlers India had who could bowl 140k. Well, I hope you checked the pace of Indian bowlers now!  

What happened?

Fastest balls by Indians so far in this IPL

 

Umesh      149.4 k

Kaul           147.7 k   

Bumrah     146.4 k

Shami        146.3 k

Mavi          145.x k

Hardik       145.0 k

Khejroliya 143.2 k

Bhuvi         143.x k

Shardul     141.x k

i am actually pretty disappointed that no one breached 150. Nagarkoti was the best bet but now he is gone. Guess it would be either Umesh or Shami now.

Khaleel if tried may break the 150 barrier this season

Havent been following IPL. However, looks to me that Umesh is back to his normal pace. In the last 3-4 months, I was under the impression he has lost about 5k's of pace. But doesnt so. Will wait for him to replicate the speeds in tests.

Adding on to this, we have Aaron,Ishant, Nagarkoti ,Khaleel and Avesh who can clock 140+ from those I've seen and Asif and Thampi from what I've heard. But the most impressive has been kaul pacewise. Has he improved a lot? Will he make it to the national team?

Kaul was bowling at good pace in IPL last year alos, but IPL is only 4 overs so bowlers give their all . He shud only be a contender for t20 format

M sure few of them has the ability to crank atleast one deilvery at 150k but here the focus is more on variations

But I have noticed his average speed has gone down a fraction..

Yes ...  Umesh had bowled 135 k to 150 k range with amazing consistency from 2011 to mid 2017.

 

But had generally bowled 133 k to 145 k from mid 2017 to now.

 

In this IPL he has been faster in the sense that he has bowled a higher % of deliveries above the 140 k mark compared to the last 9 months.

Who do you guys rate as a better bowler, Nagarkoti or Mavi? I would also love it if you could explain why :icflove: 

 

@Rightarmfast @express bowling @rkt.india @tweaker @Mosher

Pace wise Nagarkoti is a bit faster. Both are mainly inswing bowlers but have seen Nagarkoti moving the ball away too. I have not seen Mavi move the ball away. Both of them can bowl good yorkers and bouncers. I feel Nagarkoti is slightly ahead of Mavi as a bowler at this moment.

@Rightarmfast @express bowling @rkt.india @tweaker @Mosher

 

Both these guys are developing as bowlers and it is difficult to compare.

 

Nagarkoti has the potential to be an express bowler. Even now he can bowl lots of deliveries at 145 k + balls.  He can seam the ball in with consistency and can swing the ball away too. Has a good bouncer.

 

Nagarkoti's biggest plus is the zip he gets off the deck. Even in List A cricket, the batters found it difficult to tackle his stump-directed quick delivery and often lost their wicket. He has a primary wicket-taking ball.

 

Mavi has genuine pace too and has a beautiful inswinger. As @Mosher bro said, I have not seen him outswing the ball. He can get some good-length deliveries to bounce off length and has a good bouncer.

 

I would rate Nagarkoti slightly higher as of today because he has a primary wicket-taking ball.

i rate Mavi higher because he controls the new ball better. 3-4K of extra pace does not matter if you spray the ball. Nagarkoti has lacked control with the new ball and lack of movement too. Mavi gets swing which Nagarkoti does not.
