IPL 2022: Shashi Tharoor Lavishes Praise on Umran Malik, Says His Bowling Will Terrify The Angrez in England

New Delhi: Umran Malik was in scintillating form against Punjab Kings on Sunday as his fiery spell made him win the Man of the Match award in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s 7-wicket victory at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

The Kashmir man became the 4th bowler in the history of the Indian Premier League to take a maiden over 20th over. He not only took a maiden but also took three wickets in the final over of the first innings and also fell short of a hattrick.

He once again clocked the 152-mark today as he finished the first innings with figures 4-28 in 4 overs of his spell. His performances have sent the Twitterverse into frenzy including Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.
