SRH’s Malik bowls the FASTEST delivery of IPL 2021

TIL Desk Sports/ Sunrisers Hyderabad’s pace sensation Umran Malik clocked 153kph to bowl the fastest delivery of IPL 2021, during their match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in, Abu Dhabi, on Wednesday.

Malik achieved the feat off the fourth delivery of the ninth over, bowling against RCB opener Devdutt Padikkal, who edged the delivery and got a single. The pacer finished with good figures of 1/21 in his four overs, having claimed the wicket of KS Bharat.

The J&K fast bowler had become the first Indian to enter the Top-10 for the fastest delivery in IPL 2021, during SRH’s match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday. The 21-year-old clocked 146 kmph in his very first over, before going on to bowl 150kmph twice.

Malik has caught everyone’s attention with his raw pace during the IPL. He got an opportunity after left-arm pacer Thangarasu Nataraj was ruled out of the second leg of IPL due to COVID-19. His coach Randhir Singh said Malik has become the talk of the town for his ability to bowl so quick.
