Many former great fast bowlers like Dale Steyn who is also the bowling coach of SRH praised the young fast bowler. Another fast-bowling legend Glenn McGrath talked about Umran Malik.

While speaking at an event at the MRF Pace Foundation, as per the quotes in PTI, Glenn McGrath said, “I think pace is important but it’s not everything. You don’t want someone bowling 150 kph and spraying it down the leg side or spraying it wide so you have got to have that control.”

He further added, “But if you have a bowler bowling at that pace you would want to have longevity. I am sure the selectors will be very interested in him and would love to have someone bowling at that pace for your country.”

Umran Malik has been a match-winner for SRH in the IPL 2022 so far and it will be interesting to see how he does in the remaining games for his side.
