Jammu and Kashmir's Umran Malik is impressing fans with his IPL show, father-coach hopeful about his future
Jammu and Kashmir based pacer Umran Malik is impressing fans with his fast and accurate bowling in the ongoing Indian Premier League this season.
He is playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in this season of the tournament.
Malik’s father, Abdul Rashid, has expressed happiness over his performance.
“He bowled really well. One gets to learn a lot there (IPL). He did not do well in two matches and people talked how bowling fast does not mean everything. But, nobody is born with all his skills mastered. He learns them. There are big players, like Dale Steyn (SRH bowling coach), who have taught him a lot about bowling. Now the entire country is showing him love, telling that he is the future of India,” said Rashid to ANI.
He expressed hope that his son will play for the Indian team.
His coach Randhir Singh Ranjan is also hopeful that he will get a chance to play at the higher level.
“In the first three matches, his economy was on the higher side. He adjusted well in the next five games, bowling the line and lengths utilised in test matches. I would not be surprised if he will play in a format with the South Africa t20s, England tour and Ireland tour coming up,” said Ranjan while talking to ANI.
