[VIDEOS] Jammu and Kashmir pacer Umran Malik

Umran Malik:

I try to work plans for different batsmen, whether it's slower balls, yorkers or bouncers. Rest is upto God how the plans work or not. The advice (from Steyn) is to have plans and to execute them well. It's a honour to work with a legend like him. I talk a lot to Bhuvi Bhai (Bhuvneshwar), Nattu (Natarajan) and Jansen. They are all such great bowlers and they help on what to do, and not to do. Gameplan is normal (for Hardik), just to keep things simple.

Good attitude, I like it

You’re comparing apples and oranges young local.dada. Agarkar never had two serious back injuries like Waqar.

You want some examples

Watch these 2 videos:

1990/91 https://youtu.be/pIC_sM8A02c

2003 World Cup vs India: https://youtu.be/RoS56UUB8eE

Look at the difference in run up, action, athleticism and speed. Are you seriously trying to tell me both those videos Waqar is bowling the same speed?

You have no right to judge Waqar, Ambrose and Walsh speeds at their peaks because speed guns weren’t available then.

You seem to have started watching cricket in 1999 and are probably unaware that speedguns were very rarely used before that.
And as for another silly argument about “ those times with the bats, the outdated techniques/approach etc.”

The bats have no significance when you are bowled / LBW - which was the majority of waqar’s wickets. And techniques, well your ATG idol Tendulkar played in that era too - was his technique outdated too?

Lol,the first link,you are talking about that
That 135-138k at best ,low quality visuals that's what you base your claims on?
Don't speculate

He should stay away from Bhuvi and Nattu if he is serious about becoming and most importantly remaining an express fast bowler. :inti

Agreed - he really needs to stay far from line end length merchants. Bowlers, coaches / the lot. I hope for his sake he is treated fairly by the Indian selectors and captain too.

Moreover, it might be overall better for him to become a kolpak player or imran tahir style South African.
 
The saha wkt ball was really a great yorker. What I found funny was gavaskar going gaga over the speed of the ball..it was 153 kph. He was soo over the moon with the speed that he said 153 in a way it sounded like the speed was 163 or something..lol like if this is the first time a bowler has reached 153

Well can't blame him tbh, this might be the first time an indian bowler has bowled a 153 kph yorker
 
I wish he bowled more yorkers. All of his wickets are of length balls at high pace. But then again, India is not known to produce tear away fast bowlers. So Malik will get more noticed.
 
An exciting pace aspect. Seems like he's fast and raw. Haven't watched him bowl yet. But would be good to see India develop him.
 
Umran Malik | Player of the Match: I always bowl fast but I've been trying to bowl better lines and lengths. Plan was to rotate between between my plans. Idea was to attack the stumps and it's worked well for me. 155 (kph), hopefully it happens, but the main goal is to bowl well and pick wickets for my team.

It’s also because he is ready to learn and improve..the approach will not work with every bowler

Wasim was not 150k plus bowler, he was more of a early to mid 140s bowler. Even in early 90s when Waqar was clocked 150k plus, no one mentioned Wasim in the same league.

Waqar was clocked 150ks quiet a few times though, in England,SA,NZ. The highest clocked speed was 153ks, in england and SA. So thats the top speed of Waqar. Donald was clocked at 152.9ks in 1998.

Greats of the game cannot gauge the speed of the ball, its a technological thing.

You need to read a few things on this.

These are from early 2000s. When everyone started digging around for speed records.

So you are claiming that a 24 year old Wasim was as fast as a 37 year old Wasim? That just does not make any sense whatsoever. Wasim was clocked in 140ks in the 2003 WC.

He has done everyone with pace. All of them are length balls and batsmen seems to be scared and moving away from stumps.

Umran Malik bowled Wriddhiman Saha with a pinpoint 152.8 kph yorker. That's 94.9 mph

Wasim occasionally clocked 140s after Speed guns became regular.

In his youth he was regularly in 140s
 
Only thing that's to be seen is if Umran will get selected in the T20 WC team or not. Somehow our selectors have a lot of love for bhuvi who for unknown reasons finds a place in the squad of important tournaments. Otherwise Bumrah, Shami, Siraj and Umran should be our fast bowlers for the WC.
 
Whether he is ready or not, I think its safe to say that he will in the India T20 squad for the Asia Cup and possibly even the T20 World Cup. I just don't see India not selecting someone this quick in their squad. He may lack control but T20 is lottery. It doesn't take much to succeed in this format. He can thrown a few 150kph thunderbolts and he can either be 0-16(1) or 2-2(1).

Better to take a chance on someone like him rather than select another 130 kph trundler that India is loaded with.

Shami and Bhuvi were both badly exposed at the last World Cup. Shami already has an atrocious T20I record to begin with, and Bhuvi looked utterly rudderless and ineffective. Better for India to try out the younger pace-attack of Bumrah, Siraj and Malik before going back to the same guys who failed to do anything for them last time.

Unfortunately all 3 are no.11’s. Umran does have the xfactor and Bumrah is Bumrah so those 2 should start. However unfortunately we have to accommodate Thakur/Deepak Chahar/ Harshal Patel because they can slog a bit. Then our premier spinner is Yuzi Chahal who is another no.11.

Pakistan is lucky because Hassan Ali, Shadab, Imad, Nazwaz and from what I heard Wasim Akram jr can also slog. So you guys get better balance and I have seen tail slogging making a huge difference in a lot of Pakistani matches recently :)
 
I think India should play him and Prasidh Krishna in the LOI teams. Prasidh has had a good start to his ODI career and has been brilliant in the IPL as well. Umran Malik is surely improving under the tutelage of Dale Steyn. This IPL might be good for him.

Tbh Chahar is underrated. He has the potential to be a really good T20 bowler for India and brings something different to the table as compared to others. He can swing the ball and also bowl those cutters, knuckle-balls. There is always a place in T20 cricket for medium-pacers like him who can bowl with a degree of skill. On top of that he has played quite a few credible knocks with the bat and has a 6 wicket haul for India aswell. Not sold on Harshal Patel and Thakur (in T20s) though.

In T20s you can easily get away with playing 3 No.11s. But India really should start looking past Bhuvi and Shami now. Shami has never been a good T20 bowler and looks 40 as it is. And Bhuvi, who is touching 33 has either been mostly injured recently or gone missing when India needed him most, like at the World Cup.

Yeah no doubt Pakistan has a well-balanced T20 side. We are definitely somewhat lucky in that regard. Because like you said, lower-order hitting does make a massive difference in this format. That said, Wasim Jr. is still somewhat raw and not particularly far up the line of development. Still he offers something you can work with so there is that.

Aside from Miller who went for a slog they are all Indian batsmen. This makes sense as Indians are naturally inexperienced against anything over 130km/h. Will be interesting to see how Umran does in internationals against teams who are a bit more used to seeing genuine pace in their domestic set ups.

Prasidh Krishna reminds me a bit of Jason Gillespie. Similar bowling action and style.

Yuz Chahal cannot be in the team as he is a bit of lottery too in international matches. He gets tonked way too often for my liking. As you mentioned, his batting is atrocious. All good indian bowlers simply cannot bat.
 
Lol all the haters have gone very quiet 🤫 now who were saying he’s a crap bowler. He’s made everyone of you look like fools..

He’s going to be the best bowler in the world and the preps is in the pudding. What a fantastic bowler India have unearthed. The guy is a supreme talent and is bowling absolute missiles. Constantly clocking 150kph wow not seen that since Brett Lee and AKHTAR days. This guy is also very accurate.
 
What was interesting about yesterday's match was there were 2 other bowlers who clocked 150ks in Lockie and Alzarri and neither looked half as threatening or unplayable as Umran Malik. There is something special in that boy I tell you
 
Umran is the real deal.

Fast bowling being a Pakistani thing in our heads, I feel threatened in a good way :)

I suppose that's what Indians feel when we go on about Babar Azam.
 
We have got one phaasht bowler who hasn't even made his debut for India and now we have got the right to throw mud on Waqar, Wasim and Shoaib. :inti

Umran is no comparison to imran 2Ws or even Shoaib at the moment.

Like Babar is no comparison to Gavaskar Tendulkar Dravid Kohli or even Sehwag.

Btw fast bowling being a Pakistani thing is a myth. Pakistan has produced 3 ATGs and 2 world class pacers. Imran 2Ws, Fazal and Shoaib. Look at Australia, they have produced so many more. Look at SA.

Ok kid, believe what you want. On another note are you excited about Umran Malik?

Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Shami

We have no problem if that is the case and I am sure there will be scope for such a combo some time. Has happened before. I am sure we played Zak,Munaf and Irfan before.

The fact that you are specifically pointing out the combo speaks a lot about your thinking doesn’t it.

Will we ever see an Ahmadi or a Hindu or a Sikh play international cricket for Pakistan ? For like ever. Your ex players like Waqar celebrate strange kind of victories. Their is constitutional racism against Ahmadis in Pakistan.
Before you go ranting about RSS I am a turban wearing Sikh but I gotta say Pakistanis must be the last ones to speak about equality.
 
I think we can all be happy to see good cricket in the future and let’s not get petty.

Hopefully India is able to unearth more of these bowlers that are playing as this limelight on him would help.

Scouting is the best way forward thanks to IPL money, many ex Indian players are doing a good job.
 
What a bowler though. Also there are 2-3 other Umrans in the pipeline. With this performance, now hope teams will give them a shot instead of knuckle bowlers like Sandeep and Unadkut.

Kuldeep Sen is also hitting 148+.

Exciting times to be an Indian cricket fan as well as a cricket fan in general.

IPL scouting has been top notch. Scouting doesn’t have to be about spotting some guy playing gully cricket and measuring his talent. Every year we see these fringe domestic names that most causal fans have not heard and then they end up standing out.

Most top bowlers we have have all come from that domestic/ junior set up and then net bowlers at IPL etc.

There is a pool of player resources out there.

You being a turban wearing sikh has nothing to do with your opinion here. Don't get too emotional now. That was a light hearted comment from him. Words like love jihad, corona jihad were thrown by andhbhakhts and media channels before. Won't be surprised if we get to hear the same when hindu and punjabi girls go gaga over Umran Malik's express pace and starts avoiding Bumrah. :inti

I said 'in our heads'. Australia has produced many more batsmen than India too. This was not the point.
 
Many of us are just switching on SRH games to
watch him 😂 IPL social media is promoting him well.
 
Seen the highlights to his bowling and he was bowling straight and fast. Some batsmen moved away from stumps but still good to see sheer pace on display.

Should soon make his International debut.

Not really, I haven’t said anything out of the ordinary - Shami is a mainstay, Siraj has been the most impressive Indian bowler in the last 18 months or so. Umran is real pace (not baby pace) so not really room for anyone else.

You’re saying you wouldn’t have a problem with it. Why even say that? Why should you have a problem with it?

It’s the best and most potent attack out there for you.

Bumrah doesn’t fit in on pace (not quick enough) and Siraj is a better control bowler.

Simple really

Shami in T20 ahead of Bumrah? And he is India's mainstay? The same Shami who averages 32 at an economy rate of almost 10 in T20I? Bumrah averages 19.89 at an econ of 6.5. Siraj? 5 games average 41 econ 10.5, these two with Umran Malik, India will be chasing 200 in every game. Siraj & Shami have been better overall in T20 but still average 25 at economy rate of 8.26.

Umran has changed tactics. Earlier he was taking the ball away, so lots of edges flying for 4.

Since last 4-5 matches he is bringing it back in and cramping the batsman for room, hence batsmen are trying to make room. Look at Iyer Gill Saha, all out trying to make room.

2. Mohammad Shami( new bowl bowler)
3. Mohammad Siraj ( good in both but blow hot and cold)
4. Prasidh Krishana ( new bowl bowler, bowls 140k+ consistently)
5. Umesh Yadav ( new bowl bowler, a 33 year old veteran but still bowled numerous deliveries at 140K+ yesterday)
6.Umran Malik( consistently bowls 145-150 and odd deliveries over 150Kph+)
7. Kuldeep Sen( another death over bowler, bowls 140-145 kph but this is first season, so let's wait and see)
8. T Natrajan ( the man who was part of our Gabba test win, death over specialist)
9. Harshal/Arshdeep ( two death overs specialists again)
10. Deepak Chahar ( new bowl wicket taker and a very gritty bat down the order, the second best LOI all rounder of this era from India)

If I missed anymore, feel free to add but with a bit of context.

1. Jasprit Bumrah ( death over bowler) - baby pace and baby death bowling
2. Mohammad Shami( new bowl bowler) - has his moments - failed badly against pak.
3. Mohammad Siraj ( good in both but blow hot and cold) - fantastic prospect
4. Prasidh Krishana ( new bowl bowler, bowls 140k+ consistently) - who???
5. Umesh Yadav ( new bowl bowler, a 33 year old veteran but still bowled numerous deliveries at 140K+ yesterday) - wannabe pace
6.Umran Malik( consistently bowls 145-150 and odd deliveries over 150Kph+) - great prospect. India’s first express pace bowler ( I hope he gets selected and is not kept out due to political reasons)
7. Kuldeep Sen( another death over bowler, bowls 140-145 kph but this is first season, so let's wait and see) - who???
8. T Natrajan ( the man who was part of our Gabba test win, death over specialist) a Nata-what??
9. Harshal/Arshdeep ( two death overs specialists again) - who are these losers??
10. Deepak Chahar ( new bowl wicket taker and a very gritty bat down the order, the second best LOI all rounder of this era from India). Never heard of him

Shami failed badly vs Pakistan, oh yeah, looks like memories are weak here,

This is what Shami did to Pakistan in 2015 World Cup. We never hype a one off performance like you guys do to your bowlers in a one off game like CT2017 or WT20 last year but if you are so interested, here is one

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...kistan-4th-match-pool-b-656405/full-scorecard

Mohammad Shami figures - 4-35(9 overs), didn't bowled the final over because Pakistan got bowled out. And he did made some of your greatest talent and next best thing after Tendulkar huff and puff in that game.


<B>Who is Prasidh Krishna?</B>Currently averaging 16 in ODIs.One of the high class bowler, will be even more destructive in bouncy conditions of Australia and South Africa, would actually walk into Pakistan test team as their best bowler as none of your bowlers are good in those conditions as apparent by the result in Australia in tests in last 20 years.

Umesh is one of the best SG ball fast bowler to have debuted in this millenium alongwith Shami.

Arshdeep is a 23 year old bowler, quite rich of calling him a loser when he is earning in millions already and getting high praises from Indian as well as overseas commentators.

Deepak Chahar is very very good, better than Shardul in LOIs.

I stand half corrected on Shami - fair enough he’s a good bowler.

As for the no-names you’ve just tried to describe. None other of them sound any better than some of the young guns from pak. It’s all very boring really. I don’t sing about pak unknowns. You stop singing about these nobodies

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is about to enter its business end and so far, there have been many memorable performances. Rajasthan Royals batter Jos Buttler has already registered three centuries while Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul has also shown good form with the bat. Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are the leading two wicket-takers in this ongoing season. However, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly has named a young pacer as the "outstanding face of the league so far."

Ganguly has praised SunRisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik. The fast-bowler from Jammu and Kashmir can bowl consistently above 150kmph.

"Oh, it's very interesting, I am watching [the IPL]. Any team can win and everyone is playing well. The two new teams - Gujrat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants - are doing well. Umran Malik's bowling has been eye-catching. Umesh Yadav too has bowled well and so has Khalil Ahmed. I would say Umran Malik has been the outstanding face of the league so far," Ganguly said in an interview with News18.

In the ongoing season, Umran has taken 15 wickets so far with his best performance coming in the game against Gujarat Titans.

You may not see or hear the domestic scene in india . But the most consistent pace attack in tests in last 7 years has been india .
In t20 and odi too , it’s been a well balanced attack .

You are seriously confused if you don’t know krishna and call Bumrah as baby death bowling .

India lacks a fast left arm pacer - hopefully there is one in the wings in j and k ( forgot his name ) . Barring a left arm bowler , india has all kinds of swing , fast bowlers and all rounders ( chahar , thakur etc )

The upcoming bowlers are even more interesting as each year two new 145k plus bowlers jump into the limelight .

India has had fast bowlers bowling 150 k Yorkers . A young zaheer , young ishant , Varun aaron , munaf patel - they were all 150 k plus at start of career .nagarkotti , mavi too . Nehra and sreenath too .

It’s rare for almost teams to have 150 k plus bowlers for sustained periods . Other than Shoaib Akhtar and Bret Lee , I don’t recollect anybody able to maintain that pace all through their career in recent times.

Pakistan does seem to have a decent supply all through but currently the indian domestic scene in last 10 years keeps on producing 145 k Bowlers consistently which is heartening to see . The variety , depth and athletic ability coupled with professionalism is admirable .
 
Zaheer Khan was not quick, but he was a very fine bowler. Then Mohammad Shami upped the pace and he is a fine bowler too. And now Umran is a genuine quick bowler. The progress in speed has been good by the padhosi brothers, Ma sha Allah.

Mashallah . The Aussies used to bully us . No more . Lot of Indian pacers are inspired by Wasim and waquar . Their contribution and legacy to the subcontinent in general goes beyond stats .
 
Umran looks a bit off color today but he will learn with time.
He has only started bowling with hard ball 2-3 years ago.
With tennis ball he was impossible to hit.
 
He bowled at 155kph today serious speed can see him pushing the 160kph mark in the future what an extraordinary talent and bowler
 
Umran Malik has turned into an absolute revelation for SRH as the 22-year-old set a new record for the fastest delivery of IPL 2022. In SRH's clash with CSK which was marked by MS Dhoni's return to captaincy, Malik bowled at a speed of 154 km/hr twice.

The pacer from Srinagar hit the speed during the 10th and the 19th over while bowling to Ruturaj Gaikwad and skipper Dhoni. Malik finished with figures of 4-0-48-0.

In his match against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday, he bagged his first five-wicket haul in the tournament. Umran has so far bowled four of the five fastest deliveries in the 15th edition of IPL and has taken 15 wickets in nine matches.

The mantra seems to be simple for Umran. Pace, pace, and boom. He is bowling fast, attacking the stumps, and is showing much better control over his line and length.

Not many things can match the joy of watching raw pace intimidating batters on a cricket field. Malik, the young tearaway fast bowler, has been making IPL viewing an even more enjoyable experience with his raw pace that has been sending shivers down the spine of opposition batters.

After Hyderabad retained him ahead of the mega auction for Rs. 4 crores, he has been one of the breakthrough stars of the season.

Umran Malik's 154kmh is officially the fastest ball bowled by Indian. With couple of 153 kmh deliveries he has earned the title of being express bowler. Srinath probably bowled at similar pace (fastest 154.4 kmh?) at his peak but i have yet to any see any screenshot or clip of it.
I just hope BCCI manage him well.
 
He needs to work on short pitch bowling into the body. Bowled too full in the previous game and was rightly sent to the cleaners.

Modern batters have access to bowling machines and practice against 150 kph full length balls.

On slow wickets, batsman enjoy pace as they can hit well. Bowling fast doesn't work much on these wickets.

Umran Malik to Warner, no run, much better from Umran, very full and on off, Warner jams the bat down and squeezes it to mid-off, bowled at 154.8 kmph, the fastest ball of #IPL2022

Fastest bowler in Asia, and only slower than Nortje i believe.

Seeing some of the pace shown here I am starting to doubt there speed guns. Joseph is fast but he has never even touche 150 kph in international cricket.
Saini at 149 kph is also dubious.

Lol. Saini has bowled 150ks in international cricket. What are you on about?

I understand this is hard to digest for you.
 
Oh man he just bowled 157 km/hr and then another one at 155.6
The fastest bowler in t20s for sure.
