Cricket fans were left stunned for a brief moment when a speed gun clocked Mohammed Siraj delivering a ball at a staggering 181.6 km/h during the day-night Test against Australia in Adelaide. This was not only a throwback to Shoaib Akhtar’s record of 161.3 km/h in 2003, but it also led to a meme fest on social media.
The misreading happened at the 25th over of Australia’s innings, where Siraj delivered a short ball to Marnus Labuschagne, who steered it for a boundary. Fans took to social media to make fun of the glitch and turned the moment into an online sensation.
While there was an issue with the technical set-up related to Siraj’s “record-breaking” delivery, the ICC may penalise him for a different incident in the over.
