In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Sunrisers Hyderabad’s young fast bowler Umran Malik has won everyone’s heart with his outstanding performance. He has thrown the fastest delivery this season at his own pace, which some pundits have labeled him as a contender to play in India. After bowling well in the second half of the 2021 season, Malik took 15 wickets in his first eight matches in the second IPL season, including a brilliant 5/25 leg against Gujarat Titans. But in his last three matches, the 22-year-old fast bowler has had to content himself without a wicket.
His father Abdul Rashid Malik believes that IPL 2022 is part of Umran’s learning curve to become a better player. Umran is expected to play for the national team in the future. Rashid said, “Our son is learning a lot. We want him to work harder and learn a lot in the future. In the coming times, we hope that he will play for India and do well.”
However, Hyderabad lost to Gujarat in that match, where Malik bowled to Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, David Miller and Abhinav Manohar, as well as dismissing Hardik Pandya with a short ball.
Seeing Umran playing fast bowling in Jammu, Rashid recalled that the atmosphere around his house seemed as if Eid had come early. He further said, “On the day Umran played fast bowling, we were celebrated. What could be more joyous than that? Everyone in our neighborhood was happy, the whole of India was rejoicing that our son is well. We are taking the country in the future and proud.” to the country”.
Rashid attributes his son’s pace and hard work to his childhood penchant for the game, which involves bowling for long hours in Jammu’s scorching heat. He said: “The ground here (near his home) has gotten him to where he is today. Playing on this ground has made him the bowler he is today. Since childhood, he has been able to play cricket and play He was fond of fast bowling, he used to play cricket with a lot of energy.
Rashid revealed that whenever he has free time, he and Umran’s mother talk to her son and veteran Indian cricketers as well as Hyderabad fast bowling coach Dale Steyn with her son during IPL 2022. Thank you for sharing your cricket knowledge and for the conversation.
He said: “Our prayer (prayer) right now is that Umran continues to do well and learn a lot in IPL along with great cricketers, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni have admired him a lot and he is learning a lot from them. Dhoni and Jasprit Bumrah explain a lot to him. He is getting a lot of support from all the great players in India. As for the success achieved by his son Rashid, who set up his own fruit and vegetable stand, it has been praised by many. Congratulations.
