In the second inning of the pink-ball Test match at Adelaide, a technical glitch occurred during the match, showing Mohammed Siraj’s delivery at an unbelivable speed of 181.6 kmph. This incident resulted in sparking humor among the fans, who took to social media to share memes and witty comments, turning it into a trending topic.
During the second Test match between India and Australia, the visitors chose to bat first but ended their innings disappointingly with a score of 180, falling short of building a competitive total and putting their bowlers under pressure. The Australians ended day 1 strongly with a score of 86/1, losing the wicket of opener Usman Khawaja.
In the 24th over of the Australian innings, the speed gun malfunctioned, causing some confusion and making the speed readings inaccurate, which entertained both the players and the crowd. The ball bowled by Indian seamer Mohammed Siraj was recorded at a speed of 181.6 km/h, leaving everyone in shock. The record for the fastest delivery in cricket is held by legendary Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar at a speed of 161.3 km/h.
This humorous incident sparked a wave of jokes and memes on social media, with fans playfully suggesting that the speed gun might have been struggling to keep up with Siraj’s fiery pace. Some even joked that the ball was traveling faster than a speeding car, while others imagined the speed gun as a bewildered spectator trying to catch a glimpse of the action. The light-hearted banter added a fun touch to the match, as the fans thoroughly enjoyed the moment, sharing laughs both in the stadium and online.
This was the only moment enjoyed by the Indian fans, as the home side started their batting strong and ended the day with a commanding position, leaving the Indians with little to celebrate. Despite the initial excitement from Bumrah’s wicket, the team was unable to restrict any other batter on the first day.
