Jasprit Bumrah: Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has been working as a troubleshooter for Team India for the last few years, is being called the world's number-1 bowler. He has kept the batsmen of the opposition team in terror due to his dangerous bowling.

The Indian cricket team is blessed to have this player. However, there is a bowler in India who is more dangerous than Bumrah. Due to his mistake, this player has been dropped from the team. Let us know in detail in this article which player we are talking about.

Another bowler like Jasprit Bumrah

Team India

Actually, the cricketer we are talking about is none other than the speed merchant and Jammu and Kashmir player Umran Malik. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022, the right-arm fast bowler created a sensation by bowling at a speed of 157 kmph.

Only after this, Umran got a call from Team India to play international cricket. Seeing his speed, some cricket experts started comparing him with former Pakistani player and Shoaib Akhtar, famous as Rawalpindi Express. However, after playing only 10 ODIs and 8 T20 matches, Umran was dropped from the team.

His cricket career was something like this

Umran Malik has represented India in 10 ODIs and 8 T20 matches. He has 13 wickets in ODIs and 11 wickets in T20 Internationals. Apart from this, Umran has also played 14 List A matches apart from 12 first class matches. The right-handed pacer has 16 wickets in first class cricket and 15 wickets in List A.

Did not get many chances in last IPL

Umran Malik was a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League. However, this season he was seen more in the dugout than on the field. In fact, Umran got a chance to play only one match in IPL 2024. He did not get a single wicket in this match. In the next season, this franchise can release the speed merchant. Any franchise can include Umran Malik at a hefty price in the mega auction.
