There are none such bowlers. Bowlers who can hit 140 also must understand that they will still have to be hitting top of off stump.

 

 

Gurnoor Brar is the closest. 

 

In the televised FC matches, he was always around 136 to 143 k and trying to hit the top of off stump. Has a good bumper and yorker too.

 

Eden Apple Tom too is trying to hit the top of off stump at high pace in FC matches.

 

Sen, Prasidh, Umran and Harshit often bowl random deliveries without purpose, although they are quick. Harshit is the most objective of this lot.

 

Mayank Yadav is another very objective quick pacer. Always going for either the stumps or the batman's head / shoulders.

Is Mayank still playing cricket? If he has recovered after the surgery, I’d be surprised if he gets anywhere close to 150 for a year.

T20Is:

 

its laughable when we dont have enough backups for T20Is..we are world champions..and having regressed in Tests..and ODIs arent getting played that much anyways..We are trying to be the best in T20s..but the situation says otherwise..

 

1- Welcome Gill..disturb whatever was working so far for us..with Samson and Abhishek

2-Not enough backup pace bowlers

 

who are responsible..need to be questioned..

With Gill getting in, the T20 team has lost the menacing look. Jaiswal should be playing instead of him.
