Tournament to remember so far –

Umran Malik made all the headlines when he was drafted as a replacement player for Natarajan during the UAE leg of IPL last year. He grabbed the attention of the fans worldwide with the ability to bowl quick. This year he has bowled with fire and pace and bowled at nearly 154 KPH, when he bowled 153.6 which was the fastest ball of the season before Lockie Ferguson went past it. The 22 year old from Jammu and Kashmir has played 8 games for SRH so far. in the first 4 games he had just picked 3 wickets but in the next 4 games he picked 12 wickets. This included his robust 5/25 against Gujarat Titans. Malik has also won the fastest ball of the game 8 times in a row.

SRH are currently playing CSK and a win for the men in orange will take them to the top 3 in the table. SRH began with 2 losses in a row before they won 5 games in a row with their 3rd loss coming in their previous encounter against GT. SRH will hope to beat CSK once again and go on yet another winning spree which could get their 2nd IPL title after 6 years.
