J&K’s Umran Malik to Join India’s T20 World Cup Campaign as Net Bowler.

Umran Malik, the 21 year old fast bowler from J&K who bowled the fastest delivery in the IPL is set to stay in UAE as a net bowler for the Indian team for the T20 World Cup.

Umran had played only one List A game and one T20 for Jammu and Kashmir before the IPL, and was initially recruited as a net bowler for Sunrisers Hyderabad for this season.

But after T. Natarajan was ruled out due to covd 19, the young pacer was drafted in to replace him and he took IPL by storm.

Bowling regularly in the range of 145-150kph, he went over 150kph on two occasions.

In his second match, against Royal Challengers Bangalore, he helped pull off a four-run win and clocked 153kph – the fastest ball of IPL 2021 so far.

That prompted Virat Kohli to say after the game that Umran needed to be looked after, to ensure India could get the best out of him.

Now Umran Malik will be a part of India’s T20 World Cup preparations.
