Umran Malik, a speedster for Team India, addressed the questions about the economy that come with his high speed. In his first few months as an Indian player, the right-arm bowler took a lot of wickets, but he also let up runs.

He has appeared in seven ODIs so far and taken 12 wickets, never losing a match without picking up a wicket. However, given the demands of the team, his economy of 6.31 is a little high. The added pace has frequently been exploited to advantage by opposition batsmen, but they have also been defeated by it.

Umran Malik comes as an aggressive alternative, which India intends to dominate, bowling most of the overs in the middle overs as spin bowling handles the other end.

Umran Malik claimed that because of his extreme speed, runs will inevitably be given away, but he ignores the doubters and strives to take wickets for his team throughout the middle overs. In an interview with the media before the third One-Day International against Sri Lanka:

“You have to be physically and mentally strong to bowl fast consistently. I am bowling fast in the middle overs and getting wickets for my team. I will concede runs when I bowl at my pace, so let the people say what they want to, I only want to bowl well with a good rhythm and work hard, whenever I am with the team. We will continue to stick with our plans.”

“I have been doing well so far”: Umran Malik

Due to his success with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the speedster entered the national team (SRH). Prior to the home series against South Africa, he was given his first call-up, although he had to wait a long before making his debut.

Malik shared his thoughts on his time with the Indian squad, saying, “It all started with the IPL, and I’ve been associated with the Indian team ever since, so it’s a proud feeling for me because playing for India was my ambition. I’ve done well thus far and will continue to do well whenever the opportunity arises.”
