Malik’s fast bowling has been a topic of constant social media discussions. The young bowler from Jammu and Kashmir is widely being tipped to be the fastest bowler India has ever produced.
Although he struggled with line and length in the first few matches, many believe that with Dale Steyn as his mentor, Malik will emerge as a huge bowling talent for India.
