Fast bowling is about genetics and skill, not manipulated gadgets. Here is the reality check your career needs. ## Photos and videos - [Video: The pocket radar scam is real. These coaches use faulty gadgets to show inflated speeds, luring in kids with the promise of 150 kph. I'm calling out this "hera pheri" and explaining why you can't trust these numbers.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a5ffa81c-4df9-49cd-b790-b87e858127c7) - [Video: A coach is using my videos to defend his own questionable methods. I'm setting the record straight. My issue isn't with individuals, but with the entire system of lies that is ruining careers. This is about honesty versus emotional manipulation.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6d1ad7a1-03cf-448a-8627-61736974b9eb) - [Video: I'm issuing an open challenge to the "Neera Pace Foundation" and others. Let's have a public debate on genetics, biomechanics, and your claims of increasing speed by 20 kph in 3 months. Let's see who is telling the truth in front of the kids you're fooling.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8b34effd-5a27-4828-bfb0-6c4386f0fba2) - [Video: This coach claims he can make 15 fast bowlers, but BCCI doesn't even have that many. I break down the absurdity of these claims. I'm not making fast bowlers; I provide an environment for naturally fast bowlers to train and improve their skills.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/afecc404-8fad-4e28-bb4d-5df3e58db21e) - [Video: He finally admitted it: not everyone can bowl 150 kph. This is the exact point I've been making. It's about genetics. The fight was never personal; it was about exposing the lie that hard work alone can make anyone a genuine fast bowler.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/974757b7-d2ae-4423-84f5-f58b51a41f8e) - [Video: I'm offering a proposal to the coaches who claim they can increase speed by 20 kph in 3 months. Go to the MRF Pace Foundation or the NCA, take their 135 kph bowlers, and make them 155 kph. If you can do it, the whole country benefits.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6ce089bf-3f16-4583-a7ef-d9dd85928f6c) - [Video: I'm teaching these so called pace coaches how to fly without wings, just like they claim to make fast bowlers without genetics. This is a sarcastic take on the ridiculous promises made by fraudulent coaches who are ruining the game.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0fde438b-bb33-4d93-b029-c691ffab4760) - [Video: The truth about genetics and fast bowling. You can't turn a donkey into a horse. A bowler who isn't naturally fast by 17 or 18 will not become a 150 kph machine. It's better to focus on skill than to chase an impossible dream.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/07414288-aafc-4ed7-ae50-7509131262df) - [Video: This video of a 142 kph delivery is another fraud. The ball is a lightweight, non-standard ball. I'm offering 5 lakhs today if this kid can bowl 140 kph with a proper leather ball. These coaches are playing with lives for likes.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6d50c4bd-eafc-49cc-95be-6ffb1adb7dd0) - [Video: This is Pankaj Vashisht. He has never played professional cricket or even used a leather ball before. Today, he clocked 124 kph naturally. This is what I mean when I say fast bowlers are born, not made in a factory with fake drills.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/957d8f97-2480-4ac0-9224-572a5bef5da6) - [Video: This is Hari Shankar, a 130 kph bowler who wants to be 150. I'm offering 50,000 a month for a year to any "pace university" that can increase his speed to 140 kph. It's a challenge to prove their claims or admit they are selling lies.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b99f43a4-a593-4a10-bd7d-f1e2e4554b15) - [Video: I'm going to expose the truth about these speed guns. On Saturday, I will show you how these gadgets are manipulated to create fake 145-160 kph speeds. The entire speed scam will be revealed.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f0d83dac-0bfc-492f-9464-2d46a7bedebd) - [Video: This is a black and white look at a pocket radar showing a fake speed of 111 kph. The caption sarcastically notes how a bowler added 30 kms to his speed in minutes. This is a direct jab at the unreliability of these gadgets.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e9415033-64d0-444a-be18-4a5b5cb455fb) - [Video: The IPL is over, and the so called fast bowling factories are quiet. Where are all the 140-150 kph bowlers they claimed to have produced? The truth is, skill gets you selected, not fake speed numbers from a manipulated gadget.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/08bf1a4b-dcdb-4430-b672-2587c25a0e09) - [Video: These pace foundations are filled with bowlers who are supposedly 130-135 kph, yet they can't even get past district trials. The reason is simple: they lack skills. I'm calling out the entire system for producing stone-pelters, not cricketers.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bff19587-8850-4eaa-9411-91c58c3bde26) - [Video: Every fast bowling academy is full of kids who want to be fast bowlers, but they don't have the natural ability. The truth is, you can't just decide to be a fast bowler. You can, however, decide to become a skilled spin bowler, an art that can be learned.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/161d2dbe-c36a-4c17-abf0-5203200f66c2) - [Video: A former cricketer explains the hard truth: you can't go from a 120 kph bowler to 135 kph. It's a myth. He shares his own experience and confirms that raw pace is something you either have or you don't.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/65a3835a-a004-450b-b4fc-37e1fd4eb943) - [Video: To all the speed gun coaches: why don't you train your own relatives to become fast bowlers and play for India? The truth is, you can't. Your business is built on lies. Real coaching is about skill, not selling fake dreams of speed.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/77efdf78-e440-4d11-ba3a-fdcda542a621) - [Video: A video of a 154 kph delivery on a pocket radar went viral, and it was later revealed as a joke. This is the reality of these gadgets. They are unreliable and used by fraudulent coaches to attract and deceive young, aspiring cricketers.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e5427093-a72c-4ae6-89c4-f8d3396be8e7) - [Video: These coaches say, "We'll teach you line and length later." That's the most difficult part of bowling. Even Bumrah wins matches with his accuracy, not just speed. Skill is what you need to learn; speed is what you are born with.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c18df633-5855-4aab-8680-0a04ad7aea53) - [Video: The truth about increasing your pace by 20 kph. It's a lie. Going from 105 to 125 kph is normal development. Going from 130 to 150 kph requires genetics. I challenge any coach who claims otherwise to prove it.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/832fff36-5a9d-43a4-9623-2ec88f800b5f) - [Video: I'm challenging all the speed gun coaches to show me the match videos of their "best three bowlers."

How many bowlers from these "fast bowling factories" actually played? The truth is, they don't get selected because they are stone-throwers, not skilled bowlers. It's time to wake up and focus on real cricket.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5fbe8bb0-8a08-40b6-9dfe-588d020c3e9f) - [Video: This is what happens when you focus on skill over fake speed. Mani Grewal, who works on his craft every day, got selected for Ranji Trophy. The 150 kph "Ferrari" bowlers from pace foundations are nowhere to be seen.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/fd0cd751-a747-4b84-91f4-af225b23cc9b) - [Video: The new trend is "skill coaches," and they are the same guys who were selling "pace" two years ago.

The 25 other "150 kph" bowlers in Delhi are just Instagram reel bowlers. If you are genuinely fast, BCCI will find you. If not, focus on skill.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/23d939de-3094-4753-ad36-149feb54400f) - [Video: A common tactic in these pace foundations is injury. Players are constantly injured from bad drills, then sent to affiliated physios for a commission. It's a mafia. Your injuries are international, but you haven't even played district level.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/21fb16b6-83ba-4653-ac4b-dc71fd3241b5) - [Video: Any athlete's physical abilities have an age limit. But these pace mafias have no age limit for their customers. They will promise to make a 10 year old or a 30 year old a pacer. I dare them to post a video defining the age limit for pace development.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c773281b-663a-4c72-adb0-d774df82f9cf) - [Video: I'm offering a scholarship of 2 lakhs each to two genuinely fast bowlers.

The difference in outcome is genetics, plain and simple.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f7eea288-4623-428f-bdb9-f03e22b396f1) - [Video: A porter lifts weights, and so does an Olympic weightlifter. The difference is skill. If you want to be a fast bowler, aim for 160 kph. If you can't, then master your skills.

Real fast bowling requires specific genetic traits and years of technical skill refinement. Stop betting your future on manipulated pocket radar readings and start focusing on the actual game sense that gets you selected. ### The Hard Truth About Fast Bowling There is no 'fast bowling factory' where you can walk in as an amateur and walk out as a 150 kph machine. Fast bowling is primarily a gift of genetics. If you are 18 and not naturally fast, grinding your body into the ground won't change your basic physiological engine. You are just an 'Alto' trying to be a 'Ferrari', and in the process, you are burning your career and your parents' savings. ### Why the Radar Guns Lie I see coaches using pocket radars that glitch or are manipulated to show inflated numbers. They use these to lure in kids who don't know better. They show you a 142 kph delivery, but ask yourself: was it a leather ball? Was it a standard pitch? Did they use a lightweight ball to fake the numbers? If these kids were actually bowling 145+ kph, they wouldn't be playing district-level trials, they would be at the NCA or the IPL nets. ### Real Skill vs. Fake Speed Speed is useless if you are a flat bowler with no control. I train athletes to bowl with accuracy, line, and length. Real cricket is won in the mind and through skill. Focus on: * **Genetic Audit:** Understanding your physical reality before spending lakhs. * **Injury Prevention:** Training for longevity, not just for a one-off viral video. * **Game Intelligence:** Learning how to read a batsman, not just aiming at a target. Stop looking for magic drills. If you want to know if you have the potential to play at the next level, book a reality check session. I don't sugarcoat, but I will save you years of wasted effort. ## About Ravi Chhikara I am not here to hold your hand or promise a fast track to the IPL.
