However, the pace sensation is currently playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the cash-rich league. Malik was bowling the final over against Delhi Capitals where he bowled a full-length delivery wide of off to Rovman Powell on the fourth ball. While Powell smashed a boundary through extra cover and mid-off. the speedster achieved a feat on the ball.

Meanwhile, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh was impressed with his bowling and said that he would have taken Umran Malik in the Indian team if he was part of the selection panel as well. “He is my favourite. I want to see him in the Indian team. What a bowler he is. Name a pacer bowling at over 150 and not playing for the country. So I think this is a great thing. He will inspire many youngsters to take up this game, where has come from and what he is doing in the IPL. He has been unbelievable. I don’t know if he will be selected or not but if I was part of the selection committee, I would have given him a go ahead. Umran Malik should partner Jasprit Bumrah when India play in Australia,” Harbhajan Singh said to the reporters on the sidelines of a Dream Set Go event.
