Mumbai: Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler Umran malik amazed everyone with his bowling speed in IPL 2022. Umran holds the record for fastest delivery in the current season so far.
In the match against Mumbai Indians, Umran added another feather in his cap and the pacer became the youngest Indian bowler to scalp 20 or more wickets in an IPL season before this Jasprit Bumrah held the record since IPL 2017.
Umran, after a few expensive spells in earlier games, came into his own, taking three wickets for 23 runs in three overs as SRH halted Mumbai Indians’ chase of 193 in their league game at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday night.
The pacer, who recently clocked the fastest delivery of the season at 157kmph, took out the well-set MI opener Ishan Kishan, Daniel Sams, and the talented Tilak Varma to wipe out the five-time champions’ top order.
Umran broke into the top 5 of the IPL 2022 wicket-takers list as he took his tally to 21 during a match-winning spell for SRH against Mumbai Indians.
Umran is 4th in the list of bowlers with the most wickets in IPL 2022, 3 behind leader Yuzvendra Chahal.
