Exposing The Lies In Cricket Speed Training
Yaar, stop chasing fake speed gun numbers. I’m here to call out the scams and show you what real cricket development looks like.
The mud will stick to you if you don't clean it. I'm talking about the pocket radar lies. A fast bowler is visible to the eye. You don't need a gadget that glitches. These are tools for thieves who want to run a business, not coach.
This kid bowled around 80 kph but showed the courage to add almost 30 kph to his speed in minutes. RIP gadgets. This is my final word on the matter. I rest my case.
Time to reveal all. I thought I'd let these shops run, but the filth has gone too far. On Saturday evening, I will show you the truth about these speed guns and how you are being fooled.
Dare to know the truth. This screen will be at the ground on the 18th. It will show you your real speed, not the fake numbers you are being told in your academies. I'm not here to lie, I'm here to save you from lies.
You people will never learn. This 142 kph video is not with a standard leather ball. Stop playing with lives and careers for a few bucks. If this kid can bowl 140 on a proper pitch with a proper ball, I will give him 5 lakhs today.
A video of a 154 kph delivery on a pocket radar went viral and was later turned into a joke. Why do you do this? You attract young kids with these lies and ruin their lives. Have some shame. You are a coach, not a broker.
All these fast bowling academies claim to have bowlers hitting 140-150 kph. Did any of them get recognized by a franchise or state association? No. Because it's a lie. Skill is what gets you noticed, not fake speed numbers.
Even coaches have profile pictures of '100 MPH'. If you can really create 150-160 kph bowlers, reveal your methods. Come out and say it. If you can't, then stop ruining lives with false promises.
The 'pace coaches' have suddenly become 'skill coaches'. Why? Because they know the 160 kph lie is exposed. Don't be fooled. They have just found a new way to trick you. A real coach has a consistent philosophy.
The state T20 leagues are over. How many of these 'factory-produced' fast bowlers played? How many are going for IPL trials? They will send one or two through contacts and then use their names to fool more kids. Learn to bowl well.
About The Fraud Patrol: Exposing Industry Lies
Yaar, before you throw money at a 'pace academy,' ask yourself one thing: where are their match videos? Any coach claiming they can turn you into a 150 km/h bowler in three months is selling a lie. I don't use gadgets to inflate numbers for Instagram reels. I focus on 'tappa' (line and length), biomechanics, and actual game awareness. If you want to play real cricket instead of chasing fake speed gun stats, let's talk.
Stop Chasing the 150 km/h Myth
Every week, a new 'pace foundation' pops up claiming to create 160 km/h bowlers out of thin air. They use pocket radars that glitch, light-weight balls, and manipulative marketing to hook kids. It’s a business, not coaching. A genuine fast bowler is a product of genetics, years of hard work, and perfect technique—not a two-month summer camp.
What We Actually Do at RV Sports Performance
I don't sell fairy tales at our GTB Nagar facility. My training is about:
- Skill Over Speed: If you can't land the ball on a dime, speed is useless. We master the basics of line and length first.
- Biomechanics: We don't just jog; we analyze how your body moves to prevent injury and maximize efficiency.
- Mental Toughness: Cricket is played in the mind as much as on the pitch. We teach you how to handle pressure, not just how to lift weights.
- Match Simulation: We put you in game situations. Can you bowl under pressure when the match is on the line? That is where you get noticed, not in a net session.
The Reality Check
If you want to reach state or IPL levels, you need to be a thinking athlete. Stop looking for shortcuts. If you are serious about putting in the work and accepting the brutal, honest truth about your game, you are in the right place.
