Cricket News: When asked about eclipsing Shoaib Akhtar’s record for bowling the quickest delivery, Team India speedster Umran Malik spoke directly. Umran made his debut in 2021 for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team of the Indian Premier League (IPL), when his scorching pace captivated the world.
The pacer is frequently likened to Akhtar because of his incredible velocity. With a delivery speed of 161.3 kph against New Zealand in 2002, the former pace king of Pakistan holds the record for the fastest delivery in international cricket.
My sole attention is on picking wickets and bowling in the proper spots during the game: Umran Malik
“At the moment, my only concern is doing well for the nation. I’ll shatter that if I do well and am fortunate. But I don’t give it a single thought. During the game, you don’t get to realise how quickly you’ve bowled. We don’t realise how quick I was until we got home from the game. I only concentrate on taking wickets and bowling at the right spots during the game,” Umran told the Indian Express.
Umran last appeared during the just-completed ODI series with Bangladesh. He will also be playing in the T20I and ODI matches against Sri Lanka, which will start on January 3. The youthful pacer will certainly get opportunities to showcase his abilities because the management has planned to rotate the players up till the main event.
