Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday handed debut to Jammu and Kashmir pacer Umran Malik as they squared off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Dubai.

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. He, however, will only be a part of the Hyderabad unit until Natarajan recovers and is allowed to join the team.

"Under the Regulation 6.1 (c), franchisees are allowed to sign a short-term replacement player until the original squad member is permitted to re-enter the team's bio-secure environment," an IPL release had said on Malik's addition to the Hyderabad squad.

Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson described the right-arm paceman as an "exciting talent" after he won the toss and elected to bat first in Sharjah.

"It's an unfortunate position to be in but there's quite a bit to gain with growth of players, in difficult conditions, especially against a side like Kolkata. Umran Malik comes in for Sandeep Sharma just to improve the balance of the side. He's an exciting fast bowling talent," he said.

SRH are currently languishing at the bottom of the IPL 2021 points table with just two wins in 11 matches. They were officially knocked out of the playoffs race after suffering a six-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Thursday.

Dont know how much gametime he will see going forward but will be exciting to follow him nonetheless.
 
First Abdul Samad and now this guy.

Great to see young promising kashmiri cricketers getting exposure in the world's best T20 league while playing against and rubbing shoulders with some of the best cricketers going around.

Hope more talented Kashmiri cricketers come through the ranks and help bring glory and titles for India. And also hope, the ones on the 'other side' cross the LOC and strive to take part in Ranji & IPL rather than playing in those low quality third rate regional leagues.
 
Have huge doubts on speed guns in IPL - they are clearly manipulated upwards by 3-4 kph - but still he looked sharp & was working up good pace

Should be groomed for future

It is often stated that speed guns are manipulated in T20 cricket to add to the drama but with no substantiate proof. Considering Nortje and Lockie have always been tearaways, I see no reason to disagree with the Speed Guns.

Nortje playing for his national team cranked upto 145 k most
So I suspect that's where the ceiling is?
Any ways we will find out in the world T20 Confirmation?

Nortje bowls 150 plus even in tests. He is perhaps the fastest bowler in the world today.

Very good pace. Hope he is looked after at the NCA.
 
“Umran, yeah, he is a special talent,” Kane Williamson, the SRH captain, spoke after the game against KKR. “I suppose one of the silver linings of being where we are, which is certainly not desirable but we have been able to expose a number of younger players, and as you’ve seen the talent in India is immense. There are so many young guys ready to go out and get some experience”. He continued discussing the youngster from Jammu & Kashmir, “Umran is something special. It was great, he could get a run tonight. Fantastic opportunity for him.”
 
Well bad for Nattu, but lucky for Umran to have gotten this late opportunity. Hopefully this gets him in the eyes of NCA and he's developed and not allowed to rot away playing just domestic cricket.
 
What an exciting talent! India has firmly taken over the Pace Production Factory title from Pakistan in the subcontinent. Someone who is tucked away in a remote corner gets to display his talent with just 1 t20 game to his credit. IPL has been truly instrumental in shaping the bowling landscape of India which has been dire throughout the history.

Only 1 ball below 140KpH, that is so impressive in any format.

The lad needs to be looked after and he could become a very good find for India.

I never said it was "pathetic" or anything. Stop projecting your own inner insecurities onto others.

And lol at IPL and KPL being "same". :91:

First wicket today
1-0-1-1
Impressive speed too, 153 kph, 151.9kph
 
Former India captain Kris Srikkanth said on Monday that 21-year-old Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Umran Malik can be moulded into a bright prospect for India in the future. Srikkanth added Umran's bowling action and his "rhythmic" run-up reminds him of Pakistan great Waqar Younis.

Umran Malik grabbed the spotlight on Sunday when he bowled with a lot of gas against Kolkata Knight Riders after making his debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. The youngster bowled the fastest delivery by an Indian bowler in IPL 2021 when he touched 150 kph in his very first over of the T20 tournament.

Umran Malik bowled his full quota of 4 overs and gave away just 27 runs while troubling left-hand batter Nitish Rana. The KKR batsman struggled to deal with the pace and bounce of the young fast bowler who impressed quite a few on his debut in the IPL.

Notably, Umran Malik was signed as a temporary replacement for T Natarajan by the SRH after the left-arm pacer was unavailable due to Covid-19. Nataraj reached the UAE with SRH but he was forced into isolation after testing positive for the virus. Umran had been a net bowler for SRH in IPL 2021.

"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," Srikkanth said during a show on his YouTube channel 'Cheeky Cheeka'.

"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.

Umran Malik has played only 2 T20s and one List A match. He made his debut for Jammu and Kashmir earlier this year in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The young pacer impressed in his domestic debut, picking up 3 wickets against Railways in Alur.

He made his List A debut in the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Bengal in Kolkata in February wherein he gave away 98 runs in his 10-over spell.

He can be a great bowler for india in future .now BCCI will manage him as he is very talented bowler
 
Lovely seeing a young pace-bowler bowling so quick.

Reminds me so much of a young Waqar Younis before his back injury.
 
Last few years some exciting Indian side of Kashmiri talent coming through: Abdul Samad, Rasikh but Umran is the standout.

Hope KPL does the same for Kashmiri talent in the other side of the border, common people of Kashmir on both sides have suffered due to conflict long enough.

Will be good to see a couple of young Kashmiri millionaires in the next auction :)

Kudos to BCCI and Irfan Pathan
 
Well well, there is some Serious pace here. Umran Malik, what a find, one thing SRH got right this year.
 
Can he sustain pace? Down significantly in he’s 4th over.

Lets be honest, he got hyped up more bcoz he is from Kashmir. If we purely talk from cricket perspective, I didnt find anything special in him. The talent is obviously there and good to see IPL is giving him platform to showcase that but he is too raw. Just running in and bowling fast means nothing. Subhman Gill was hitting him all over the park in that game against KKR. Umran Malik needs few seasons of Ranji to polish his skills....IPL is not a place to do it.

21 year old bowling at 95mph is not special?

I will be thankful to him and god if he turns out to be even half the bowler that Waqar was …! Very excited for him
 
I saw video clip of his bowling , he is a real deal, worth the hype. He is a young Waqar Younis, so much similarity, particularly his jump and bowling stride.
 
Looks like a midget. That Tyagi guy from India is far more impressive.

Not really.

A 150kph bowler is hyped even in Australia where they come regularly. And we currently have none(Maybe one other).

Plus we do have system specific n pace to try and preserve and improve such bowlers now. Hope it works and he fulfills his potential.

Such a natural and free flowing action. Needs to straight away get into NCA and be managed properly diet and fitness regimen wise so he doesn't end up with any injury that puts break on his career. A lot of young pacers started with raw pace and suffered injuries that put them out for years (Cummins comes to mind)

A short (5'8'') left hand pacer who tops out at 142 is what India needs? No offence bud but not even low tier Ranji teams would take him.

Why not, Malcolm Marshall was only 5-9 (not saying he is going to be the next MM).... He is only 18, so in time he should become a 150K bowler as he gets stronger...

Need to track Umran Malik's progress: Virat Kohli

ABU DHABI: Virat Kohli mighty impressed with pace sensation Umran Malik, who sent down the IPL's fastest delivery against his franchise, India and RCB captain Virat Kohli, said the Jammu and Kashmir youngster's growth needs to be monitored to ensure his potential is maximised.

The 21-year-old pacer from Jammu has got everyone excited with his raw pace and clocked 152.95 kph during the game against RCB here on Wednesday. Kohli was paying attention and was quite excited by what he saw.

"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," Kohli said in the postmatch presentation after his team lost the game by four runs.

"The pool of fast bowlers being strong is always a good sign for 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," he added.

Umran's IPL debut was against Kolkata Knight Riders and he clocked 151.03 kmph, which was at that time the fastest delivery by an Indian this season. His 152.95 kmph zinger last night made him the fastest of the IPL, surpassing Lockie Ferguson (152.75 kmph).

SRH skipper Kane Williamson counted him as one of the positives of a largely disappointing season for his team.

"Umran certainly is special. We've seen him in the nets for a couple of seasons. Special opportunity for him and it's not surprising to see him come and do well. (He has) Been a really valuable addition to the side," said Williamson.

"I try and keep it really simple with him but he's got a lot of mates in the team and they share the message and he takes the game on," he added.

The youngster has risen through the ranks despite humble beginnings. His father owns a small fruit shop in Jammu's Gujjar Nagar area.

On his T20 debut, he picked up 3/24 against Railways, which included the wicket of former India player Karn Sharma, who was beaten for sheer pace.

It isn't common for a cricketer from the region of Jammu & Kashmir to make it big. Getting only his second outing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), pacer Umran Malik gave a glimpse of the talent that exists in the North Indian state. Seeing his son mesmerise fans with his talent, Umran's father couldn't be more proud.

Speaking to India Today, Umran's father who is a vegetable seller by profession, spoke of the hardships he and his family went through to support Umran's dreams. With what seems to be only the start of Umran's journey, his father Abdul Malik is hoping to see his son wear the India jersey one day.

“My son got inclined to cricket when he was just 3 years old. He always dreamt of becoming a professional cricketer. We were so happy when he was picked up in the playing XI by Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. We were glued to the TV and there were tears of joy in my and my wife’s eyes. My son has worked very hard. We always supported him. We hope that one day he plays for Team India,” said Abdul.

Umran's father also revealed that he was congratulated by the Lt. Governor after Umran went on to make his IPL debut for Hyderabad.

“It is not an ordinary achievement for us. We are from a poor family. I sell vegetables and fruits to make a living. My son has made me proud. Our joy knows no bounds. Even Lt Governor Sahib has congratulated us. I pray to Almighty that my son continues to excel in his career,” he concluded.

Umran, who picked up his first IPL wicket in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), was also lauded by Virat Kohli. The RCB skipper called for a talent like Umran to be nurtured considering the incredible potential he has.

In the match against the Royal Challengers, Umran didn't just pick up the wicket of KS Bharat to open his account but also bowled the fastest delivery of the IPL 2021 season, clocking a whopping 153 kmph.

Mavi and Nagarkoti are decent enough cricketers but international cricket needs something extra. Players like Malik have better chance than those that start with disadvantage of being a midget.

They can always represent India B sides. :inti
 
He looks a lot like Waqar but doesn't have the same slingy release. That slingly action contributed a lot to Waqars ability to swing the ball miles.

Well, express fast bowlers are not supposed to bowl many overs but only short bursts.

Yes absolutely. He shouldn't play FC matches at all and inducted directly in test XI. What matters is that he's express, not the fact that the only LA match he played against a middling Ranji side, he conceded 100 runs in 10 overs.

You sir haven't watched the whole game then. He wasn't just raw pace. And no Shubhman didn't really cart him around. He was beaten for pace quite a few times as well. But Gill is also an equally talented batsman so it is bound to assume he would put away some as well.

I thought Umran was exceptional against LHBs. Nitish Rana couldn't put bat to ball vs him and in the second match it was Devdutt Padikkal who appeared confounded.

Umran obviously is still raw talent but there is a lot of adherence to the basics that is evident in his game. He wasn't trying to clock 150 kph every ball.
 
The Waqar action just before the 92 WC was less slingy. This action was mostly the product of the back injuries
