Young fast bowler Umran Malik impressed with his raw pace once again as he shone for the Rest of India on Day 1 of their Irani Trophy clash against Saurashtra in Rajkot. One of the fastest bowlers in the country at present, Umran has been on the rise ever since his brilliant campaign for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2022 earlier this year.
Umran has been making rapid strides ever since and has already made his dream India debut. However, despite his amazing pace and skills, the young pacer still has a long way to go before he can become a regular in the Indian team across all three formats.
Umran is currently in action for the Rest of India in the Irani Trophy where he displayed his stunning pace against the Saurashtra batters. The 22-year-old enjoyed a sublime outing as the Rest of India pacers ran riot against Saurashtra on the opening day of the high-profile clash.
mran finished with a three-wicket haul as Saurashtra were bundled out for a low-key 98 runs in just 24.5 overs. The young pacer bowled a sensational yorker to bamboozle Saurashtra skipper Jaydev Unadkat on 12 off 13 balls. It was a pin-point yorker from the right-arm pacer, which rattled Unadkat's stumps after beating him for pace.
