It once in a while happens that a player gets a player of the match award in a losing cause. But such was the execution from Umran Malik that there was no one indeed remotely close who deserved that award in the match between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
God Willing, I’ll Bowl 155kph One Day: Umran Malik
GT was chasing a massive score of 196 runs. They had gotten a great start. But when Umran Malik came into bowl it was just about him.
“The idea was just to bowl as fast as I can. The ground is slightly on the smaller side so the idea is to stay on the stumps, mix the pace and try to keep the ball within the stumps. [On targeting 155 kph] God willing if I have to bowl 155 kph, I will do it one day. But at the moment, all I want to do is bowl well”, Malik said after the game.
Malik’s five-wicket haul has taken him to the 2nd spot on the purple cap list.
