Quickest was Umesh Aaron in tandem,they were way high in average pace against visiting Windies in late 2011 which had the services of Edwards,Best and maybe Roach

Later in Aus Umesh clocked almost 153

 

 

Yes Umesh, Aaron were v.quick, I remember ODI against SL (V.high Scoring) for first few overs SL batters were finding hard to even lay bat to the ball, getting beaten by pace.

 

Though they got some beating later on but that period showed how v.high pace can disturb batters' Psyche even the batters of highest level

That match was killer, I think Aaron injured after 4.1 overs, but till then he was hurrying Dilshan, Tharanga and Sanga. He was bowling 144-152 and couple of boundries just flew over slips after the edge.
Umesh was in 140-148 range and was getting great movement. They were helped by Saha behind the stumps who was catching everything thrown at the wind.

Read the commentary, the writers were fired up seeing the hurricane pace by Indian pacers.

Happened to see just 1 over of Umran. Not one ball was bowled below 145. The higher ceiling is yet to reach Shoaib and Lee's level, but the lower end is perhaps better than them, when both of them were in the same phase of career as Umran is now. He is quicker than Shoaib Akhtar, ( Shoaib akhtar of pre 2000 era.)

Lol. Not even close. 

[vayuu1]

Umran 156 kph today as well surprised that people haven't mentioned that

What was fastest delivery by Akhtar before 2000, we can get an idea that way ?
Umran's 156 in Internationals and 157 in IPL.

I missed it too. Which over was that?

[vayuu1]

TM should tell umran to be enforcer in middle overs bowl quick bowl straight rattle the opponents by pace that should be his job 

[vayuu1]

Guy is breathing fire touchewood 

[express bowling]

Umran dismisses the set Nisssnka with a 142 k short ball, against the run of play 

 

Invariably picks up wickets in the middle.

Remember that match. Was super excited to finally see 2 Indian fast bowlers bowling 145+. Sad we didn't get to see more of Umesh and Aaron together in their prime. 

 

Hope to see Kartik Tyagi and Umran bowling together soon. That will be such a sight seeing 2 quick bowlers egging each other on and bowling quick. With Mohsin or Kuldeep Sen as the 3rd fast bowler. Imagine what a fast bowling line up that will be.

Hopefully, I think Umran clocked 157 in same match where he played alongside Tyagi. Tyagi hit 151 in the same game.

In the 1999 WC,  Shoaib's quickest was 154.x kph

 

He was mostly in the 138 k to 150 k mark.

 

The 150 k to 155 k/160 k spells happened after 2001 or thereabouts.
