Shashi Tharoor, MP, has demanded that Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Umran Malik be included in the Indian squad for the upcoming IPL and that he be appointed to bowl alongside Jaspreet Bumra.
Umran has been catching the attention of the fans with his extraordinary speed since the beginning of the tournament. Umran took four wickets for 28 runs in four overs against the Punjab Kings yesterday. Umran took 3 wickets in his last over without conceding a single run. This is the first time in the IPL that Umran has taken 4 wickets. After the brilliant bowling performance of the match, many former cricketers, cricket experts and Umran came out in praise.
Tharoor tweeted that Umran should be given a fast track entry to the Indian team and that Umran should open bowling with Jaspreet Bumra. Tharoor said that Umran should definitely travel with Team India on the tour of England. Shashi Tharoor tweeted, ‘Umran should be included in the Indian team immediately. The best genius. Give Umran what he needs before his talent leaks, and let Umran bowl with Bumrah in the Tests in England. It will frighten the English. ‘
