Umran Malik The Run Machine: Maiden Fifty For Him, More To Come If He Plays Continue – Here’s How Twitter Reacts
Umran Malik was earned his maiden India call-up for the five-match T20 International (T20I) series against South Africa. However Umran had made his debut against Ireland in a T20I last month, and picked his first wicket in the second match of the series. Umran Malik lit the IPL up with his ability to consistently bowl at speeds above 150 kmph.
The third and final match of the three-match T20I series between India and England was played at the Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Sunday, July 10. England Cricket Team defeated India Cricket Team by 17 runs in the third T20I to deny them a clean sweep.
Third T20: India Field, Make Four Changes, Umran Malik & Avesh Khan Back in the Mix
Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, pacer Avesh Khan, pacer Umran Malik and batter Shreyas Iyer replaced leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, pacer Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Hardik Pandya in the playing XI.
In the meantime, Umran began off poorly within the Nottingham T20I towards England, leaking 17 runs in his first over. In his second over he gave away 10 runs and picked the wicket of opening batsman Jason Roy. In his third and fourth over, the categorical pacer gave away 14 and 17 runs
Umran Malik ended his 4-over spell with the bowling figures of 4-0-56-1, which is the third most expensive figures ever for an India National Cricket Team bowler in T20I cricket.
Most runs conceded by an Indian bowler in T20Is:
- 0/64 – Chahal, 2018
- 0/57 – Joginder Sharma, 2007
- 1/56 – Deepak Chahar, 2019
- 1/56 – Umran Malik, 2022.
Here’s How Twitter Reacted To Umran Malik’s Bowling Performance In 3rd T20I vs England:
Umran Malik the run machine 🔥.
If he thinks the pace is only his strength today will repeat in his entire career.
He has to vary pace to become more deadly.#ENGvsIND #INDvsENG #RohitSharma𓃵 #HardikPandya— Hema Kumar (@HemaKumar7745) July 10, 2022
Maiden fifty for Umran Malik, more to come if he plays 👊

Today it's Umran Malik on his radar. Sanju bro he is Umraaaan not UmRun (I guess).
Screwing up names since eternity.

No, Umran Malik is not ready for international cricket! Not until he develops a few variations. Wonder what the bowling coach's up to. Pace on every delivery won't work in T20s. #ENGvIND

Today's match is going to be a part of a learning curve for someone like Umran. He'll understand that while pace is a factor & his strength, just banking on pace alone won't be enough against good line ups. Mix up in lengths & pace is important.

Umran Malik cannot retain his place in the playing XI with this economy rate.
This will only send him back to the bench..— Venkat Aranthady (@venkataranthady) July 10, 2022
