Umran Malik "Not Handled Well By SRH": Zaheer Khan To NDTV, Says 'Guidance' Was Missing

From being a revelation at the IPL 2022, Umran Malik has practically become a no-show at the IPL 2023. The speedster from Jammu and Kashmir who impressed everybody with his express pace in the last edition of the IPL, has been sparingly used by his franchise SunRisers Hyderabad. He played only seven games in the IPL 2023, in which he took five wickets. His economy (10.35 RPO) was not great either. After the poor show, Malik was dropped from the former champions' playing XI and last featured in a match on April 29.

Or, KKR captain Nitish Rana's angry words with Mumbai Indians' Hrithik Shokeen. The on-field confrontations seem to be too many. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri feels that the IPL needs some on-field confrontations, which will spicen up things and pave the way for more rivalries.
