Don't know why fans are surprised seeing mavi bowl these speeds, bowling quick requires solid fitness and strength, to carry on bowling quick in all formats requires a certain physique which obviously mavi lacks, many Indian bowlers for a short period bowled briskly, rp Singh, sreesanth, munaf, nehra etc none of them ever got stronger and nor did they grow the right muscles, bowling quick would have meant injuries due to lack of strength hence all adapted medium pace, it's the same with mavi, he is a medium pacer who gets it to shape a bit, lacks height, bit of a floater, not sure how he has jumped the line ahead of other bowlers, let's say he puts on another 10kph in his bowling even at best his ceiling is quite low, unless he starts generating pace of the pitch and becomes a bit of a specialist with the old ball he can do decently at home in test matches.

 

 

Indian pacers losing speed was a thing of the 2000s decade.  Hasn't happened since 2011. We are seeing SA and Pakistani pacers lose pace these days.  Rabada, Ngidi, Parnell, Hassan Ali,  Naseem in tests, Dahani.

 

Mavi is such a case after 12 years in India.

Ranji schedule is also poor,pacers have to bowl within themselves else will get injured.

Yhh, I don't blame mavi adapting to medium pace, remaining fit and getting game time is his first priority, don't think he is going to ball quick anytime soon, tyagi and sen need to be looked after, both need to put on more muscle and get stronger, a couple of injuries and they to will go down the mavi way.

He used to touch 145 but mostly around 140 and used to drop speed at times if I remember.  Nagarkoti was the more consistent one in speeds. 

he bowled really fast after u19 wc.  he played India A and bowled faster than Saini and other Aus A bowlers likes of Jhy Richardson and that 6 feet 8 inch bowler who played for SRH a few years back. and after that he suffered injuries.

The real cases of losing the pace were I. Pathan and Munaf they lost the pace just after couple of seasons

 

Rest all were slower and were pushing hard for speeds during their rookie intl. seasons and once they were half stablished/ got injured owing to pushing hard and never had bowled at that speeds so lacking the repetitions they got injured and due to some great counselling from Ind. bowling geniuses to prolong their careers all came down to  their merry ways of bowling at their natural pace.--Most of the Ind Fast bowlers falls in this category

 

I am afraid this can easily be the case with Arshdeep Singh.

 

Nehra tried to bowl as fast as possible with his injured body, Zaheer let go of himself just after establishing himself and at onetime he was bowling with some tummy.

 

 

Injuries are part of fast bowlers career, its how strong they come back. 

For a bowler coming from BCCI system having all the facilities, guidance and motivation and money they should not lose pace in early 20s
