Sunrisers Hyderabad may have lost their match against Lucknow Super Giants, but fast bowler Umran Malik once again set the internet on fire by bowling a 152.95 km/h delivery in the match. This was a considerably faster ball than what he had bowled in his earlier match, beating New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson in pace.
Malik did not manage to take any wickets, but his fastest delivery earned him special Rs. one lakh cash award after the match. This was his second Swiggy Instamart Fastest Delivery Of The Match award in a row.
Malik bowled three overs and conceded 39 runs, but his fast and furious bowling once again become of the topic of intense social media discussions. Former India fast bowler Irfan Pathan tweeted, “Using umran Malik in the middle overs will work for SRH in long term! #SRHvsLSG.”
