Umran Malik bowls fastest ball by an Indian in IPL 2021

DUBAI: On his IPL debut, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) fast bowler Umran Malik clocked 150.06 kmph, which is the fastest delivery bowled by an Indian in the ongoing IPL 2021, here on Sunday.

Malik came into SRH playing XI in place of pacer Sandeep Sharma and he impressed everyone with his raw pace in the 4th over of the innings against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Dubai. Mohammed Siraj was previous fastest Indian bowler in IPL with a delivery clocking 145.97.

The 21-year-old bowler was roped in as a short-term Covid-19 replacement for T Natarajan, who had tested positive ahead of Hyderabad's encounter against Delhi Capitals on September 22. Malik, who was a part of the Hyderabad contingent as a net bowler, has played one T20 and List A match for Jammu Kashmir and has picked a total of four wickets. IANS
