Has Nahid Rana of Bangladesh bowled the fastest ball in ODI? Know the speed of top-5

Bangladesh fast bowler Nahid Rana is a tall bowler, whose height is 6 feet 5 inches. This 23 year old young bowler has impressed a lot with his bowling so far. He took 4 wickets in the first match of the ODI series against Australia, but he came into the news the most because of the second match. Although he did not take any wicket in this, but it was claimed on social media that he made the record of bowling the fastest ball in ODI cricket by bowling the ball at a speed of 158.4 km/h.

Although this claim was completely false, the speed of the ball in question was 133 km/h. But the interesting thing is that even if Nahid Rana had bowled at a speed of 158.4 km/h, he would not have been the fastest bowler in ODIs. He is not even in the top-3. In such a situation, let us tell you who are included in the top-5 list of bowlers who bowled the fastest balls in ODIs.
