Gone are those days when India was accused of not producing tearaway fast bowlers. The current set-up has many pacers who can set the speed gun on fire and trouble the best of the batters. Among those is Umran Malik, who’s seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket. Hailing from Jammu and Kashmir, Malik belongs to the rare breed of speed merchants, who can clock 150 kmph on a consistent basis.

He burst onto the scenes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, where he made his debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Notably, Umran wasn’t in the initial squad and only came as a short-term replacement for injured pacer T Natarajan. After getting knocked out of the playoff race, SRH management decided to give their benched players a go and, Malik made full use of the opportunity.

He left the cricket world stunned with his fiery bowling and earned praises from different corners. He, in fact, clocked 152.95 kmph in a game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the fastest delivery by an Indian in the tournament’s history. His blitzes made SRH retain him for INR 4 crore ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction. Notably, this gem was unearthed by none other than former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who served Jammu and Kashmir cricket team as a player-cum mentor for a brief period.

Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with CricTracker, Umran opened about many things and made some interesting revelations as well. From shredding light on his stint with SRH to Irfan’s influence on his career, let’s look at how the star pacer responded to our queries.

CricTracker caught up with Umran Malik for a rapid-fire chit-chat.
