Could be false advertising to gloat about how good he is despite being a vegetarian supposedly. For marketing reasons.

Is he getting paid by hindu nationalists or animal right activists

I don't think diet matters for fast bowling.  Protein is available  through various sources. This is not 70s or 80s. Umran eats meat. Bit his speed dropped as well. So there is no correlation. Many meat eaters have seen drop in pave. Rabada is one who was trundling at 130k in the recent test series injury is the only thing that he has to worry about.

You know what happened to Peter siddle? 

 

Bowled 137 to 145 on average when he was non vegetarian

 

When he turned vegetarian he became a trundler.

Over the last two years.

Some people get thrill out of claiming to be something they are not because it makes them more popular with fans. 

 

So mayank could just be sayings things like he is a vegetarian to Garner attention as people would gravitate towards the fact that someone has managed to achieve the impossible despite lacking in terms of diet as vegetarian diets generally aren't ideal for sports.

Fair enough but he grew up on non veg food. He only made the change recently within the last 2 years. All those years of consuming meat protein etc would have helped him develop the muscles needed for fast bowling so all he has to do now is maintain what has already been developed.

How often do vegetarian bowlers bowl 140 plus ? Very rare exceptions to the rule mostly. Diet matters alot.

But whey is superior. Even meat eaters depend on it.

Right. One need not eat meat for protein.

[vvvslaxman]

 2 years back  when I was bulking I took a lot of whey even though I regularly eat meat

Sample will be very small. Vegetarian diet will rarely ever allow you to bowl at high speeds over 150. 

 

Wasn't Srinath a vegetarian?

Zak is a meat eater, he was a trundler in comparison to Srinath.

Was Sri really a vegetarian? 

[Kron]

That's impressive then

 I just feel without eating meat or atleast eggs which I have a feeling Sri did consume, then it's just not sustainable for playing sports at top level.

He was for most of his years, I read some articles that he had to give up vegetarianism at times as getting pure veg food was very tough for most time in away tours.

 

He may have consumed at times non veg food. But he was a vegetarian from childhood till he played for India.

No idea about eggs.

I read an article on vegetarian Indian cricketers and some names like Ishant Sharma, Suresh Raina came up.

Wow interesting. Makes me think how good he could have been with more lean meat consumption. Guess it is possible to reach high speeds with vegetarian but sample size is still low. 

 

A genuine express pacer  however would be impossible to build on a veg diet without eggs I still feel.
