There are quite a few bowlers who can bowl at express pace in India. Umran Malik has this knack for delivering some of the fastest deliveries, which he first showed in the IPL.
The Jammu and Kashmir bowler popped up in the IPL in 2021 and bowled a 150 kmph delivery. Then Malik set the stage on fire with his 156.9 kmph delivery in IPL 2022, impressing everyone with his pace.
Though he hasn’t been consistent in the last few years, he is still an exciting bowler to watch out for.
Umran Malik has been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for 75 lakh in the IPL 2025 auction. The India fast bowler started with a base price of 75 lakh, and after some activity at the KKR table, he was successfully secured by the team for the same amount.
