Yesterday’s match was also the debut match of an Indian youngster. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s young fast bowler Umran Malik has shocked the cricketing world with his lightning speed in his first match. The Jammu and Kashmir cricketer was lauded for his performance in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Umran, 21, is the fastest Indian bowler in the IPL this season.
Umran India’s Shoaib Akhtar bowled at a speed of 150.06 kmph. Despite not getting a wicket, the batsman was noticed in the first match with his speed. Umran gave up 27 runs in four overs. Umran’s 150km ball was born in the first over.
Earlier, Royal Challengers Bangalore fast bowler Mohammad Siraj was named the fastest Indian fast bowler of the season. The first two positions were for him. The speed of the first two balls was 147.68 km / h and 147.67 km / h. This was rectified in the first over of Umran’s debut match.
Meanwhile, opener Shubhman Gill’s solo match helped Kolkata to victory. Kolkata chased down the 116-run target with two balls to spare. With this victory, Kolkata jumped to fourth position in the points table with 12 points from 13 matches. The last Sunrisers were out earlier.
Sunrisers captain Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat. Sandeep Sharma was replaced by Umran Malik for Hyderabad. Shakib Al Hasan, meanwhile, was in Kolkata for Tim Seifert.
The Sunrisers suffered a batting collapse. For Kolkata, Tim Southee, Shivam Mavi and Varun Chakraborty took two wickets each while Shakib Al Hasan took one wicket. Kane Williamson is the Sunrisers’ top scorer with 26 runs. Only Abdul Samad (25) and Priyam Garg (21) gave the captain some support.
