In the 2022 IPL, Umran caught everyone’s attention by performing brilliantly for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 14 matches in the IPL, Umaran took 22 wickets.

In the IPL, he got a chance to catch the eye of the national team. He was called up to the Indian team for the first time for the T20 series against South Africa in June. Umran has since played five ODIs and three matches in the shortest format of the game.

However, Umrah Malik has set a new target in the new year. Shoaib Akhtar wants to surpass India’s young pacer.

In an interview, the 24-year-old Umran said, “At the moment, I am just thinking of performing well for the country. If I can bowl well, if I get the help of luck, I will break Shoaib Akhtar’s record. But I’m not worried about this record at all. I have only one goal. It’s just a good game for the country.

“I don’t know how hard I am bowling during the match. After coming back to the dressing room after the game, I came to know how hard I had bowled. My goal on the field is to throw the ball in the right place and pick up wickets. ’
