The 21-year-old pacer Umran Malik, who is part of the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) squad in the Indian Premier League 2021, has made a lasting impression on one and all with his bowling talent. During the 14th edition of IPL, he recorded the fastest delivery of the season as he clocked 153 kph to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).&nbsp;

Despite SRH's failure to reach the playoffs, it has been a fairytale run for Malik, who hails from India's Jammu and Kashmir state. For IPL 2021, he was recruited as a net bowler for The Orange Army, however, was included in the main squad when T Natarajan was ruled out due to COVID-19.&nbsp;

If reports on ESPNcricinfo are to be believed, he has now been chosen as Team India's net bowler for the upcoming T20 World Cup. "Yes, he will be staying back with the team as a net bowler. He was impressive in the IPL and we feel it will be a good idea to have the batsmen face him at the nets. It will also be a good exposure for him to bowl to the quality batsmen like Kohli and Rohit," ANI also reported, quoting a source.&nbsp;

"In 2018, I was practicing regularly. After Under-23, I played Vijay Hazare and Ranji Trophy. I thank the SRH franchise for giving me an opportunity. Irfan Pathan came and he told me where I can improve. I was scared at first when I had to bowl to Warner and Williamson in the nets. I prayed to God that I just bowl good balls. I kept on learning and this has helped me," Malik told teammate Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a video posted on iplt20.com.&nbsp;

Umran's talent didn't go unnoticed by Virat as he had said, "This tournament throws up talent every year, good to see a guy bowling at 150 clicks. It is important to understand the progress of individuals from hereon. The pool of fast bowlers being strong is always a good sign for Indian cricket and whenever you see talent like this, you are going to have your eyes on them and make sure you maximise their potential, which is already being seen at the IPL level."&nbsp;

T20 World Cup: Pacer Umran Malik selected as Team India's net bowler, reports reveal

Match 52 of the IPL 2021 edition saw the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with the bottom-ranked Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday evening (October 6). Being asked to bat first, a struggling SRH camp managed a modest 141-7 riding on valuable contributions from Jason Roy, Williamson, etc.

In reply, RCB didn't have the best of starts but were comfortably placed at 92-3 in 14 overs; needing 50 off 36 balls with an in-form Glenn Maxwell in the middle. However, SRH bowlers didn't give anything away easily and combined to restrict Kohli &amp; Co. for a modest 137-6 and win by 4 runs. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jason Holder held their nerves in the death-overs, Jammu and&nbsp;Kashmir's youngster Umran Malik also played his part with his raw pace and tidy spell; 4-0-21-1.

Umran has already made heads turn with his pace. For the unversed, he also&nbsp;bowled the fastest delivery (152.95 km/h) in IPL 2021 during the RCB face-off. He also showed his ability to bowl as per the situation and hold his nerves in crunch moments. Hence, he was noticed by RCB and Indian captain Kohli.

Former India captain Kris Srikkanth was left impressed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik after his eventful debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Sunday. The 21-year-old fast bowler from Jammu and&nbsp;Kashmir made his debut for SRH in their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and bowled at an impressive pace.

Malik went on to bowl the fastest delivery by an Indian bowler in IPL 2021 so far when he clocked up 150 kph in his very first over against KKR. The 21-year-old failed to take a wicket but conceded only 27 runs in his four overs while also leaving a mark with his pace.

Srikkanth believes Malik can be moulded into a long-term prospect by SRH. He also drew parallels between the youngster's action and Pakistan legend Waqar Younis' bowling action. Srikkanth said Malik reminded hi of Younis' bowling style.&nbsp;

"Don't forget, Umran Malik of SRH, he is a good pick. That guy can be moulded into a fantastic fast bowler. Nitish Rana struggled. Some weaknesses of KKR's batting was exposed,"&nbsp;Srikkanth said in a video on his YouTube channel.

"He has just played 1 T20 game. See somebody made a very good point during commentary - Jasprit Bumrah was picked like this. Today see, where he is. You never know. His run-up, his action everything resembles a bit of Waqar Younis's style. He has a very good rhythmic run-up and he is able to bowl at a good pace. The way he was making Nitish Rana dance was amazing," he added.

Malik, who was a net bowler for SRH before, was roped in as a replacement for T Natarajan by the franchise. Natarajan was ruled out of the tournament after testing positive for COVID-19. Malik has so far played only 2 T20s and 1 List A game in his career.
