Umran Malik has made his debut in Indian cricket as a speed star. The Kashmiri pacer can regularly bowl at a speed of over 150. New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell was bowled by a ball of 150 km in the series-deciding third T20I against New Zealand. He holds the record for the fastest delivery among Indian pacers.
In the series-deciding third T20I against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, the Jammu right-arm pacer started his spell with a 148.6 km/h wide yorker, a ball that hit Bracewell a bit. He couldn’t do it with the bat. A ball later, the Kiwi star missed umran’s 150km/h delivery completely. The ball hit the stumps so hard that the bails went out of the 30-yard circle over the heads of keeper Ishan Kishan and slip-fielder Suryakumar Yadav.
The batter himself was a bit shocked to see the incident! Umrah then finished the match by dismissing New Zealand’s highest scorer Daryl Mitchell (35) in the first ball of the 13th over. with 9 runs in 2.1 overs, and his victim 2. Captain Hardik Pandya was the most successful bowler of yesterday. He took 4 wickets for 16 runs in 4 overs. New Zealand was bowled out for just 66 in 12.1 overs, their third-lowest total, chasing 235 to win.
