Rajkot: Umran Malik has been a stunner with fire and pace for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. Umran Malik is continuing fast in the Indian jersey as well. In the ongoing Twenty20 series against Lanka, Umran had caught the eye with fast balls of more than 150 kmph. But Umran hears a criticism that he concedes runs even when he takes wickets. Former Pakistan player Salman Butt is talking about Umran Malik’s bowling problems and his superiority.
‘Performance improves with experience. Umran Malik concedes a lot of runs due to lack of experience. He is in great form. Good action. The pace is picking up. As for the problem, Umran’s pace can be used well if he is an experienced batsman. Umran can predict whether he will bowl yorkers or slow balls. Umran should bowl yorkers outside the offstump. But it doesn’t. If you sit on the bench, you will not get experience. He should be given a chance to play. “Because Umran will take wickets and win matches in difficult conditions,” said Salman Butt.

Umran took three wickets in the first Twenty20 in Mumbai, conceding 48 runs in four overs in the second match in Pune. The match will start at 7 pm in Rajkot and will be watched live on Star Sports and Hot Star.
