The Indian premier league is soon reaching its half way stage and what a tournament we have witnessed so far. every team from top to bottom have done their best so far to make a positive impression. While Mumbai and Chennai have had a woeful season, there are teams like Gujarat, Lucknow, RCB and SRH which are firmly in the race alongside RR to make it to the top 4. One of the biggest success stories of the IPL so far has been Sunrisers Hyderabad who have won 4 games in a row.
Harbhajan Singh names his first pick for the Indian World T20 team –
Former Indian off spinner and 103 test veteran Harbhajan Singh has made his first pick on the Indian team sheet. The 41 year old from Punjab has named Umran Malik as the first pick the selectors must make for the Indian team for the World T20 to be held later this year in Australia. The former Indian player said this while speaking to Star Sport India “This (Blue) is the only jersey missing and he should get it early. I feel he is the most deserving one who should be selected to play for India in that T20 World Cup in Australia. He could be your match-winner there”
Umran Malik ready for India jersey –
Umran Malik has been turning all the heads with his performances this year for SRH. The 22 year old from Jammu and Kashmir has impressed the world with his pace as he has bowled 150 KPH and above with ease. SRH bowling coach Dale Steyn has been impressed with the evolution and skill shown by Malik. The former South African pace ace said that Malik is ready for an India call up and is one of the rare bowlers in the world currently with the pace he bowls at. Malik picked 4 wickets in SRH’s last game against PBKS. He picked 3 wickets in the final over and also bowled a maiden over. This helped SRH win their 4th game in a row after the Kane Williamson led side had lost two games to begin the season.
If Umran Malik can keep continuing his performance like he has so far, the day isn’t far when he will don the Indian jersey and conquer the world.
