UMRAN MALIK
Speed merchant Umran Malik had impressed the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2021 so much, that they decided to retain him before the IPL 2022 auction and he has repaid the faith brilliantly.
Not only has he bowled extremely fast, but he has also picked wickets as well, including a fifer against GT and a four-wicket haul in a single over.
He has 21 wickets in 13 matches though at an expensive economy of 8.94. However, he has also bowled the fastest ball in IPL 2022, at 157 kph, and has been constantly bowling at over 150 clicks.
Many experts have backed his selection for the Indian team and with South Africa visiting for 5 T20Is, his India call-up is imminent.
This will give him enough exposure at the international level to prepare him for a possible outing at the T20 World Cup 2022 which will be played at the bouncy pitches in Australia.
