While India has always struggled to produce good fast bowlers, 19 years old Gurinder Sandhu of Indian heritage is showing enough promise to be considered to represent Australia one day. Sandhu already represented Australia in the 2012 U-19 World cup. He has done well in this year's Big Bash League and got a 7 wicket haul on his first class debut against Victoria bowling alongside the likes of Doug Bollinger and Josh Hazelwood. He also took 4 wickets in the first innings of today's Shield match against South Australia. Although Sandhu is not as fast as Cummins, Pattinson or Starc he seems to be getting wickets bowling at around 135-140kmh. He has created significant interest among Australian cricket fans due to his Indian Heritage. His father Iqbal Sandhu, a Sydney taxi driver moved to Australia in the mid-80s.

Here's a video clip of his bowling in the u-19 World cup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-WMX-kn4yQ (watch at 2.01, 2.57 and 4.08 minutes)
