Umran Malik’s name is in the limelight due to his brilliance with the ball in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. He has proved his mantle on the back of his quick bowling for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Umran Malik says he is his own role model
In a recent interview, Umran Malik said that speed is in his blood and it comes out naturally. As per him, he is trying to bowl in the right areas in this season of IPL 2022. He added that he is his own role model. As per him, it was all Irfan Pathan’s bowling effort that helped doing really well at this level.
“Speed comes naturally to me. This year I am trying to work on hitting the right areas. I always used to bowl fast. I am my own role model. When Irfan Pathan came to train us, I used to jump out and I was pretty erratic, I was not able to bowl in one area consistently. But when he came, I began to jump out less and I started getting the right rhythm. I just want to make Jammu and Kashmir proud and I want to make the country proud. I just want to perform well,” said Malik while speaking to NDTV.
The young star pacer asserted that it is always a proud moment for him when former cricketers and great people tweet about him. He also picked Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the best pacers in the world.
“I have to perform, when I see cricketers tweeting about me, it was very a proud feeling. It is good to see such big legends tweeting about me, they must have seen something in me, that is why they are tweeting about me. Right now, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are the best bowlers in the world,” he added.
