Shoaib Akhtar Gives Funny Reply On Comparison With Umran Malik.

India’s new pace sensation Umran Malik who drew the attention of the cricket world with his raw pace in IPL 2022, is having rough start to his international career after he was thrashed in the third T20 International against England.

Umran, courtesy of a wonderful IPL season in 2022, got a place on the Indian cricket team. The Indian pacer made his debut against the Ireland cricket team in the recently concluded T20I series where India registered comfortable victories to clinch the series.

Although his raw pace is a big weapon many experts believe he needs to add variations to his bowling to be successful in the long term.

Umran Malik bowled with a good pace in the international match against Ireland as well and HAS drawn comparison with former Pakistan’s fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar who has now come up with a hilarious reply on it in a video on his YouTube channel.

Shoaib Akhtar bowled the fastest delivery in international cricket, 161.3 kph (100.23 mph), against England in the ICC World Cup match in 2003.

Many believe Umran is capable of breaking Akhtar’s record of the fastest delivery in the history of cricket.

Shoaib used to consistently bowl between 150-160 kph while being a menace to the batsmen and being highly successful around the world. Whether Umran can achieve that sort of success remains to be seen.

“Uss se jyada tez to mai apne YouTube videos me fekta hu (I bowl faster than him in my youtube videos)”, said Shoaib Akhtar on comparison with India’s Umran Malik.
