The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season has seen the rise of many young Indian pacers and fans in the country are pretty excited on the prospect of having great depth in the pace bowling ranks. The likes of Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Mohsin Khan and Yash Dayal have impressed one and all and it would be interesting to see whether some of these get a go in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa.
Former Sri Lankan pacer Chaminda Vaas reckons rookie speedster Umran Malik, who has thrilled everyone with his pace in the Indian Premier Leaguer (IPL) 2022, will become a "great bowler" for India. Playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL-15, the fast bowler from Jammu has been impressive with his pace and consistently clocked above 150 kmph in the speed gun. He has so far taken 21 wickets, with best figures of 5/25 and is the fourth highest wicket-taker in the tournament. "I think he (Umran) is getting better day by day and I saw him playing in the last IPL as well. He is bowling consistently and accuracy is important when it comes to T20. And he will be a great bowler for India. He will be there with (Jasprit) Bumrah, I guess if India gives him a chance. He will go a long way," Vaas told reporters in Mumbai.
Umran Malik ‘fan club.’ On Wednesday, Sri Lanka’s pace great Chaminda Vaas remarked that the tearaway rookie Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer from Jammu - who won his 13th consecutive fastest delivery award in IPL-2022 when he clocked 154.8 kmph on Tuesday night - will become a “great bowler” for India, and “will go a long way.” With 21 wickets, Umran is the fourth highest wicket-taker in the tournament, with best figures of five for 25. “I think he (Umran) is getting better day by day and I saw him playing in the last IPL as well. He is bowling (with pace) consistently and accuracy is important when it comes to T20 cricket.
Rishi Dhawan is going through a great phase in his career. The 32-year-old all-rounder led Himachal Pradesh to its maiden national cricket title with a triumph in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, India's premier 50-overs domestic tournament. Then in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 he has been getting decent opportunities for Punjab Kings. In four matches the fast-bowling all-rounder has picked four wickets. He has an economy of 7.92. The Himachal all-rounder made a return to the IPL after a gap of 5 years.
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh of Punjab Kings (PBKS) has quite easily been one of the most exciting prospects in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) so far. The fast bowler might not be high in the wicket's column quite often in IPL 2022, but he has maintained an impressive economy of 7.70 considering the opportunities given to him to bowl mostly in the death overs as well as in the powerplay. This has gone a long way in ensuring that PBKS remain in the hunt for a place in the playoffs.
Gujarat Titans, who have been remarkable in bouncing back from adverse situations, would look to seal a spot in the Play-offs when they clash with inconsistent Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), here on Tuesday. Gujarat, the IPL debutants, are clearly the team to beat in the competition having won eight out of nine games. A sixth consecutive win will make them the first side to enter the play-offs. A big reason for Gujarat's stellar run has been their ability to come back from tough situations. Whether it is Rahul Tewatia, David Miller, Rashid Khan or skipper Hardik Pandya -- they all have produced match-winning efforts during the course of the tournament. If one has failed, the other has risen to the occasion.
Arshdeep Singh has taken just three wickets from nine Indian Premier League (IPL) games so far this season, but the performance of Punjab Kings' pacer in the death overs has been phenomenal, forcing many cricket pundits to call for his inclusion in India's T20 World Cup squad. The left-arm pacer, however, is far from satisfied with his performance. "I am happy but a sportsperson is never satisfied. Grateful to be able to perform for the team whenever I am getting the opportunity," Arshdeep said after Punjab Kings lost by 20 runs to Lucknow Super Giants here on Friday night.
