Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik was on point in their latest match against Punjab Kings at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on April 17, 2022, in the ongoing IPL 2022.

Earlier, Malik was lauded for his extreme pace but was criticized a bit in hush tones for his economy rate. However, against the PBKS team, Malik was at the top of his bowling game as he not only bowled with speed but also picked up his IPL career-best bowling figures.

He picked up the wickets of Jitesh Sharma (11) and Odean Smith (13), both caught and bowled. Apart from taking the wicket of Smith in the last over of the PBKS innings, Umran picked 2 more wickets in Rahul Chahar and Vaibhav Arora, who both were clean bowled thanks to some searing pace and well-directed deliveries at the stump.

Umran Malik also became only the fourth bowler in IPL history to bowl a maiden in the 20th over of an innings. The other three bowlers to achieve this feat are Jaydev Unadkat, Lasith Malinga, and Irfan Pathan.
