NEW DELHI: Young fast bowler Umran Malik rose to fame with a remarkable IPL season for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2022, thanks to his blistering pace and ability to consistently bowl over 150 km/h. His performances earned him a spot in the Indian white-ball squad, where he played 10 ODIs and 8 T20Is, taking 24 wickets within just over a year.
Despite this early promise, Malik has not featured for India in more than a year, raising questions about the decline of the once-promising fast bowler. Former India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey believes that Malik's rapid rise without substantial red-ball cricket experience is a significant factor in his current predicament.
