The First 1000 KM/H Ball

Title: The Boy Who Bowled at 1000 KM/H

Author: Priyam Das

Chapter 1 – The Ordinary Dream

Arjun Sen was just a normal Class 7 boy from Kolkata.

Every morning he woke up at 6:00 AM, tied his shoelaces, and imagined himself standing in a massive cricket stadium.

Not as a batsman.

Not as a fielder.

But as the fastest bowler the world had ever seen.

His classmates laughed when he said, "One day I'll bowl faster than anyone in history."

They would mention names like Shoaib Akhtar and Jasprit Bumrah.

Arjun would smile and reply, "I won't just break records… I'll create a new category."

He didn't know that fate was listening.

Chapter 2 – The Storm Night

One night, during a terrible thunderstorm, Arjun was practicing bowling alone in the rain.

Lightning struck near the old banyan tree beside the ground.

A strange electric pulse passed through his body.

He collapsed.

When he woke up the next morning, everything felt normal.

Until he bowled.

The ball disappeared from his hand.

A sonic boom echoed.

The stumps shattered into dust.

Speed recorded on his friend's phone radar app:

1000 KM/H.

Chapter 3 – The Secret Power

Arjun discovered he had gained something impossible — superhuman bowling speed.

But using it too much made him dizzy.

His coach warned him, "Power is nothing without control."

So Arjun trained harder than ever before.

Speed.

Accuracy.

Discipline.

He didn't want to be a monster.

He wanted to be a legend.

Chapter 4 – The Viral Match

During the district finals, Arjun finally revealed his full speed.

The stadium fell silent.

He bowled.

The ball broke the sound barrier.

Within hours, the clip went viral on YouTube.

Millions of views.

Offers from sports brands.

Invitations from international academies.

But Arjun had another dream too…

Chapter 5 – Beyond Cricket

Arjun loved gaming and tech.

He started a YouTube channel where he played cricket games and shared real-life training tips.

Subscribers grew from 10… to 1,000… to 1 million.

Soon he wasn't just the fastest bowler.

He was a gaming icon.

A tech entrepreneur.

A role model.

But deep inside, he remained the same boy who practiced in the rain.

Epilogue – The Real Speed

A reporter once asked him,

"What is the secret behind your 1000 KM/H bowling?"

Arjun smiled.

"It's not speed of the ball."

"It's speed of belief."

And that is something anyone can achieve.
