IPL 2022: Watch - 3 wickets, no runs - Speed gun Umran Malik sets IPL and the internet on fire with record equalling 20th over heroics

Umran Malik has been breathing fire in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Bowling in the death overs is the most difficult task for a bowler and fast bowler Umran, who consistently bowls at 145- 150kmph plus, handles that arduous task, seemingly with ease. In Sunday's first match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, Umran bowled the last over of the Punjab innings. The scoreboard at that time read 151-6, with big hitting Odean Smith and Rahul Chahar at the crease for Punjab. And incredibly, Umran did not give away a single run in the over and took three wickets. There was also a run out, which meant that overall four wickets fell in the 20th over and the Punjab innings folded up for 151. SRH eventually won the match by 3 wickets for their fourth win on the trot.

The 22-year-old Umran, who hails from Srinagar, was unplayable in the last over and narrowly missed out on a hat-trick. He removed Odean Smith, Rahul Chahar and Vaibhav Arora, denying Punjab any chance of adding to their score. In the process, Umran, who is India's fastest bowler currently, became just the third bowler in the history of IPL to not concede a single run in the 20th over of an innings. Irfan Pathan (PBKS in 2008) and Jaydev Unadkat (RPS in 2017) are the other two bowlers who have achieved this incredible feat in the past (they did this in the 20th over of the second innings). Sri Lanka pace legend Lasith Malinga (MI in 2009) conceded 1 bye and 4 leg byes (counted as extras) in the 20th over of a match in the 2009 edition.

Interestingly, Umran's three-wicket (four wickets fell in all - Umran took 3, the fourth was a run-out) maiden over was the 300th maiden overall in IPL history.
