Is Umran Malik, the new face of TEAM INDIA’s Fast Bowling?

No batter in the 2022 IPL wants to hear the name, Umran Malik. With his incredible bowling in the IPL, the pacer is keeping opposing batsmen awake at night. Umran, 22, is in his first IPL season and has already taken nine wickets in six games. He consistently bowls at speeds of more than 150 kilometres per hour, which is an incredible feat for an Indian bowler. Netizens and cricket analysts predict that he will soon be seen in National team colours. Is he going to?

Umran Malik was born and raised in Jammu. In January 2021, Umran made his T20 debut for Team J&K in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, returning with impressive figures of 3/24 against Railways. During the previous IPL season, the Sun Risers Hyderabad purchased the speedstar as a replacement bowler for Natarajan, who is infected with Covid 19. That’s when things began to look up for him.

Umran’s outstanding performances in this year’s IPL have piqued the interest of cricket fans and experts alike. Many cricket legends and fans believe he was born with the ability to bowl at the highest level. The question now is whether he will be chosen for the Indian National Team.

The Indian cricket team needs a pacer like him as a lethal attack option in the bowling department. India will play five Twenty20 matches against South Africa and two against Ireland in June. The BCCI hopes to field a strong bowling attack for the ICC T20 World Cup, which will be held in Australia in October 2022.

The BCCI is looking for an alternative pace bowler to relieve the pressure on Bhumra, Shami, Siraj, and Deepa Chahar in order to carry out their game plan. If Umran Malik keeps his current form and fitness, BCCI selectors will quickly add him to the national squad. So, if all goes well for Umran Malik, he could be the face of Team India’s fast bowling.

On Twitter, netizens and cricket stars praised Umran Malik’s performance, with some intriguing tweets praising his bowling abilities. Examine it out.

Two pacers, same joy ☺️
