With his blistering pace and ability to take wickets, Umran Malik has become the talk of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL), and his high ambitions of dismissing Virat Kohli in the upcoming match against RCB will be played on April 23.
This will be Umran’s first encounter with Virat Kohli in any form of cricket.
Following a smart set-up against Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer early in the week, the 22-year-old took IPL 2022 by storm with a triple-wicket maiden in the 20th over of the game against Punjab Kings, putting him among Lasith Malinga and Irfan Pathan on the elite list.
Umran’s next target is Virat Kohli’s big wicket in his next game. Given the form of Virat Kohli, there is a probability that Umran Malik will take his wicket in the match against RCB.

Umran told Sports Today on Tuesday that he aimed to get KL Rahul out during the match against the Lucknow Super Giants and that he tried hard, but now wants to knock Kohli out in the RCB game.
“One of them was KL Rahul. We were up against them in a game. I was desperate to get him out. But we have a match against RCB coming up, so I’d like to get Virat Kohli out. He stated, “I’m a tremendous fan of both of them.”
This will be Umran Malik’s first encounter with Kohli in any form of cricket, but he spoke about his conversation with the 33-year-old and the advice he provided him in an interview last month.
“Virat Kohli approached me and told me that I needed to improve my bowling and fitness. He advised me to work hard and that the India cap was not far away if I did. “He said when the time comes, I’ll have my chance,” Malik said.
On April 23, Sunrisers Hyderabad will play Royal Challengers Bangalore at Brabourne Stadium.
