In his second IPL match, Umran Malik made a fuss by bowling at 152.95. This is the highest speed record among Indian bowlers in the history of the IPL. The right-handed pacer from Jammu and Kashmir is touching 150 in a row this season. Sunrisers Hyderabad retained Umran Malik for Rs 4 crore from this year’s IPL auction.
Now it seems that even if more money was spent on Umran, Hyderabad would not have suffered any loss. The pacer got the opportunity to play only 3 matches in his debut IPL in 2021. However, the 22-year-old Umran has become Hyderabad’s main bowling weapon in the current season. He took 9 wickets in 6 matches. Umran is at number 9 in the list of highest wicket-takers. Umran bowled at 150 in a row against Punjab Kings at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
In the same match, he took 4 wickets for 28 runs. He took 3 in the last over. After the match, reporters asked Umran if he had difficulty in bowling in the sweltering heat of Mumbai? “The heat is not an issue for me,” said Umran. I am accustomed to the ball at a temperature of 46-48 degrees in Jammu. I think my line and length are better today than it was yesterday. ‘
