Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) fast bowler Umran Malik is in a lot of discussion. He is consistently bowling at a speed of 150 kmph in the ongoing IPL 2022. Malli hails from Jammu and has taken 10 wickets in six matches so far. In the match against Punjab, he took 3 wickets in the last over and created a sensation by throwing a maiden.
He became the fourth bowler in IPL history to bowl 20 over maidens. Now his target is Virat Kohli. He has said that he will try to take the wicket of this batsman in the next match. Who among the best batsmen in the tournament would you like to bowl to? Responding to this question, Malik said, “KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.”
In a video interview with Sports Tak, Malik said, “KL wanted to get Rahul out. I tried in my last match (SRH vs LSG). Our next match is against RCB and my target is to get Kohli bhai out. I am a big fan of these two players (KL Rahul and Virat Kohli). I can only give my 100 percent, the rest is in the hands of God.”
Malik started his journey as a nets bowler for Sunrisers Hyderabad and was replaced by Natarajan after he got corona infected. He bowled the second fastest delivery of the tournament at 152.95 kmph against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
After that match in IPL 2021, Virat Kohli had praised the youngster and said, “Whenever you see talent like this, you will have your eye on him and make sure you use his potential.” Malik was then included in the Indian squad as a net bowler for the T20 World Cup in Dubai and was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad before this IPL.
