'I will break Umran Malik's record in PSL': Pakistan rookie pacer's bold statement on comparison with Indian
While Umran Malik's thunderbolts has been the talk of the town in India, he has also gained immense fame across the border, which is renowned for producing world class pacers.
Ever since making his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Umran Malik's career graph has significantly risen. The Jammu and Kashmir cricketer is hailed as India's latest pace sensation and has already set a new benchmark with his soaring pace. In the ODI series against Sri Lanka, which India won 3-0, Umran clocked 156 kph on the speed gun, making him the fastest among the Indian pacers.
Despite his pace, Umran has been slightly expensive, which was evident in his initial days. However, with the immense backing, Umran is slowly molding into an asset for the Men In Blue and could well be spearheading the pace attack in the coming days.
While Umran's thunderbolts has been the talk of the town in India, he has also gained immense fame across the border, which is renowned for producing world class pacers. Pakistan's emerging pacer Zaman Khan, who also plays for Lahore Qalandars, recently made a bold claim, comparing his bowling with the Indian. In addition, he also made a sensational claim of overtaking Umran's record in the upcoming edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which gets underway from February 13.
"I will break the record of Umran Malik's fastest ball in this Pakistan Super League edition In Shaa Allah," said the pacer.
Zaman is yet to make his debut for Pakistan and has made seven List A, and 30 T20 appearances so far.
“If you talk about pace... I don't really care about pace. I care about performances. It's the performance that matters. Your pace is natural to you,” Zaman had told local media during in an interaction, posted by paktv.tv on their YouTube channel.
Umran, on the other hand, has represented India in both white-ball formats. He has played 8 ODIs and the same number of T20Is, in which he has scalped 24 wickets.
