VRV has taken wickets in the domestic season but cannot be considered fast by any standards. In the Duleep trophy games he was bowling around 125-128kph. He has been given enough chances in the international games and failed to impress. He does not have much variety nor speed. Even Ranadeb Bose took 60 wickets last year in domestic season but he is not upto international standards. Same with VRV. Either he has to increase his pace and/or add more variety to his bowling. He should learn something from Ishant Sharma and RP Singh, who both increased their pace and added variety since they came to international scene. Before he made his debut in 2005 there was a lot of hype about him being able to bowl at 150kph, (not sure what speed meter they used !)
