Bhuvneshwar Kumar was mistakenly credited with bowling a 201 kmph delivery during a T20I match against Ireland due to a speedometer error.
While Bhuvneshwar Kumar's name became associated with a 201 kmph delivery, it's crucial to understand the context:
-
The Incident: During the first T20I between Ireland and India in June 2022, the speedometer displayed a speed of 201 kmph for a ball bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
-
The Reality: This reading was quickly identified as an error. Such speeds are highly unusual in cricket and far exceed the typical range for even the fastest bowlers.
-
The Aftermath: The erroneous reading caused a stir on social media, but it was soon clarified as a technical glitch.
Therefore, while the speedometer showed 201 kmph for a delivery attributed to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, it was not an accurate measurement. No bowler has officially recorded such a high speed in cricket history.
