“Speed Alone Cannot Be Only Weapon…”: Ex-India Star’s Reminder For Umran Malik | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of India fast bowler Umran Malik© AFPFormer India fast bowler RP Singh said pacer Umran Malik will have to improve his skills as a bowler as speed alone cannot be his weapon, adding that he is one of the bowlers in fray to play in the World Cup. “You have a good number of matches before the World Cup. He can get 5-6 games in the Asia Cup, and three more matches (against Australia). Umran has the advantage of pace. But the issue with him is the skill — his deliveries do not move much,” RP Singh said. “In international cricket, speed alone cannot be the only weapon. You have to make a game-plan as well, and that is something he is not learning as quickly as he should. He also concedes a lot of runs. But he seems to be in the loop for the World Cup because he has the pace....

“Give Him A Chance In Test”: Ex-India Star’s ‘Mark Wood’ Compliment For Umran Malik | Cricket News

[ad_1] Sanjay Manjrekar has urged the selectors to give a chance to Umran Malik in Tests.© AFPFormer India batter Sanjay Manjrekar has urged the selectors to give a chance to tearaway pacer Umran Malik in Test cricket. Umran, who impressed everyone with his pace in the Indian Premier League, has already represented India in white-ball cricket, but is yet to wear the whites for the team. He has not been selected for the two-match Test series against West Indies. Umran had a below-par season in the IPL this year but Manjrekar feels that Umran can "be an X-factor" in the longest format of the game due to his pace.Manjrekar drew comparison between Umran and England pacer Mark Wood, who made an instant impact in the third Ashes Test against Australia last week."I believe if you have to pick U...

How India’s T20I XI Could Look Like With Only U-25 Players | Cricket News

[ad_1] It is fair to stay that Team India will be entering a new era after the conclusion of the ODI World Cup later this year. Veteran stars Virat Kohli (34) and Rohit Sharma (36) have carried the baton for nearly a decade. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. While the change might not be imminent, the selectors will have to do it eventually, especially with the T20 World Cup set to be held next year in West Indies and USA. Hardik Pandya has led the team in the absence of Rohit, who is currently the all-format captain, but his injury record makes it a catch-22 situation.Having said that, here's how Team India might look like heading into the future with players who currently below the age of  25.Top-OrderYashasvi Jaiswal took the Indian Premier League by storm.

“Despite Working With Dale Steyn…”: Virender Sehwag Minces No Words In Criticism Of Umran Malik | Cricket News

[ad_1] Sunrisers Hyderabad ended their IPL 2023 campaign with an eight-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The 2016 champions had a forgetful outing in this season, with only four victories in 14 matches. Despite having many big names like Aiden Markram, Mayank Agarwal, Glenn Phillips, SRH failed to leave a mark and finished at the bottom of the points table. Apart from them, one player who turned out to be a major disappointment this year was pacer Umran Malik. The Jammu and Kashmir speedster emerged as a superstar in 2022 but gave a completely opposite performance this year.During the clash against MI, Umran leaked 41 runs in his three-over quota and went wicketless. Seeing his below-par performance, former India batter Virender Sehwag did not mince his words and stated tha...

[ad_1] Umran Malik speaking to Murali Kartik before SRH vs MI match© IPLThe Indian Premier League 2023 season hasn't seen the Umran Malik that fans wanted. The express pacer didn't impress the way he did last season for Sunrisers Hyderabad, owing to inconsistent shows, coupled with a dip in bowling speed as well. Ahead of the Sunriers' final league game of the season against Mumbai Indians, Umran was asked about his views on the way this season went for him. The young speedster said that he didn't get to bowl as consistently as he did last season for the franchise."Last year, I played all games and bowled all overs. This time, I bowled less overs and took 5 wickets only. When I wasn't playing, I was putting on the hard work. I hope to perform better today (against MI)," Umran told Murali...

“Maybe There Was Spat Or Misbehaviour”: Virender Sehwag On Umran Malik’s Absence From RCB Match | Cricket News

[ad_1] One of the most promising pacers in Indian cricket, Umran Malik was expected to take his career to a new level in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 but his performances have been far from satisfactory. As Sunrisers Hyderabad took on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the match on Thursday, skipper Aiden Markram didn't even know why Umran was not a part of the playing XI. When former India cricketer Virender Sehwag was asked about Umran's absence and Makram's unawareness, the retired cricketer gave a concerning response.Though Sehwag admitted that Umran is out of the team because of underperformance, he feels something did happen behind the scenes because of which he was dropped from the match against RCB.
