5 strongest throwing arms in cricket today
It is a very crucial part of the game and at times it is less worked on but it can win you games, remember the throw of Mohit Sharma to Mahendra Singh Dhoni during the World Cup 2015 against South Africa to dismiss AB de Villiers. That throw literally changed the course of the match, tilting it in favour of India and eventually winning it.It was one instance which highlighted the advantage of having boundary riders with good, strong throwing arms. Throwing arms are also important as during the fag-end of an innings, especially, batsmen look to convert ones into two and here is where a good throwing arm could save you crucial runs which could become crucial in deciding the fate of the match.Here is a look at the best in the world today with such arms.

#1 David Warner
The pint-sized dynamo from Australia is short and sturdy; he is muscular and his shoulders are full of strength, so do not get deceived by his height. Warner has earned himself quite a reputation of being a good boundary rider.
His throws are also deceivingly quick and accurate. Warner is fleet-footed and very agile, he gets to the ball in a jiffy and the best part like most modern players is his quick release to cut down on time. Attach these characteristics with his lethality in batting that makes him a vital cog in any team and in any conditions.
