MS Dhoni downplayed his return as Chennai Super Kings captain and the team's comfortable Indian Premier League victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday as a mere "coincidence".
Ruturaj Gaikwad was in sensational form in Chennai Super Kings' win against SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday at the MCA Stadium in Pune and looked set for his second Indian Premier League (IPL) century. But, in heartbreak for the 25-year-old, he fell short of the landmark by just one run. Gaikwad tried to cut T Natarajan in the 18th over, but couldn't keep it down and was caught at backward point. Gaikwad looked devastated at missing out on the century, standing at the crease in disbelief and hanging his head down and seemingly wiping his eyes through his helmet.
Umran Malik is one of the most exciting prospects in Indian cricket and his performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 have been very impressive. The pacer has taken 15 wickets so far with his best figures coming against Gujarat Titans in SunRisers Hyderabad's previous game. Umran went on to take five wickets but it was not enough to take the side over the line. Former India pacer Munaf Patel has said that the BCCI should look to get Umran in the national squad so that he learns the culture.
Umran Malik, a pace bowler from Jammu, representing the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, is garnering a lot of acclaim from fans and players for his speed, accuracy and wicket-taking ability. In his eight IPL games so far, the youngster has scalped 15 wickets at an average of 15.93 and an economy of 7.96. His best bowling figures are 5/25 against Gujarat Titans. He has clocked deliveries above 150 kmph in the ongoing season of IPL.
Umran Malik is the talk of the town after his latest exploits in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. On Wednesday night, the lad from Jammu and Kashmir scalped 5/25 for SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Gujarat Titans. It was his maiden five-for but more than that, his express pace impressed all. Malik's emergence has given the Indian team management fresh hope of yet another pace superstar in the ranks. There are several reports pointing towards Malik's induction into the Indian cricket team.
It was business as usual for coach Randhir Singh Manhas during a winter day in 2017 when a 17-year-old boy walked up to him during a net session at the Maulana Azad Stadium in Jammu's Nawabad Area. "Sir, kya aap mujhe ball daalne dengey? (Could you allow me to bowl)," Manhas remembered the short and stout boy's request while senior state team batter Jatin Wadhawan was having a knock at the nets.
Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik's pace has earned another fan in the former India tennis great Mahesh Bhupathi. Malik delivered a brilliant spell of 5/25 in his four overs against Gujarat Titans, bowling out Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, David Miller and Abhinav Manohar. Though his spell could not win the match for his side, his pace and wicket-taking ability have won over fans and players, both former and current.
Umran Malik is being backed to win a place in India's bowling attack after lighting up the IPL with deliveries of more than 150kph (93mph) and wickets galore. The 22-year-old returned figures of 5/25, becoming the first player on a losing team this season to be awarded man of the match, as his Sunrisers Hyderabad team went down to Gujarat Titans in a last-over thriller on Tuesday. Malik's rise from Jammu to the Indian Premier League has been nothing short of a fairy-tale.
