Umran Malik
Umran Malik has taken the Indian Premier League by storm with his searing pace and constantly clocking near 150 kmph. The 21-year-old from Jammu made heads turn in the last edition of the tournament, where he was drafted into the team by Sunrisers Hyderabad after travelling with the squad to the United Arab Emirates initially as a net bowler.
Umran made an impact instantly, clocking 150kmph-plus consistently, and eventually played three first-class matches this year for Jammu and Kashmir, claiming seven wickets.
He was retained by Sunrisers ahead of this year’s auction and the pacer has made the most of the opportunity, becoming one of the consistent performers for Sunrisers, and earning praises from the cricketing fraternity.
