Fans on Twitter react as former Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun said that Umran Malik can break Shoaib Akhtar’s record of fastest delivery. They were on the same page with him and said that the young pacer has the ability to achieve the feat.
Umran Malik becomes the fastest Indian bowler
Umran rose into the ranks after his sheer pace surprised many during the IPL 2022. His ability to bowl 150 kmph consistently impressed one and all and it also troubled many batters.
Not only did Umran impress many with his pace, but he also was the strike bowler for his team and took 22 wickets in the tournament, the fourth-highest in this season. His heroics made his debut for India in the T20Is. He bowed decently during his debut series against Ireland and also defended 17 runs in the last over of the second T20I to help his side win the match.
However, after that, he asserted his authority in the ODI format as well as he made a staggering debut in New Zealand and then was breathing fire in the ODIs against Bangladesh as well and was the leading wicket-taker in T20Is against Sri Lanka and second highest wicket-taker in ODIs. It is fair to say if he performs well he can be a vital cog for India in World Cup next year.
With Umran breathing fire in almost every game, he’s a strong candidate to break Akhtar’s record of 161.3 kmph. His fastest delivery so far has been 157 kmph, which he bowled in the IPL 2022.
He also bowled the fastest delivery by an Indian in T20Is and ODIs when he clocked 155 kmph and 156 kmph respectively against Sri Lanka. Many have backed him to script history and become the fastest bowler in the history of the game and break.
Bharat Arun has backed Umran Malik to break Shoaib Akhtar’s record. Speaking to News24 Sports, he said: “Umran Malik can break Shoaib Akhtar’s record. He can increase his speed from 157kmph to 162kmph”
