On the other hand, KL Rahul is the captain of Lucknow Super Giants and it will be quite interesting to see how these batsmen would lead the attack in the upcoming season. He also talked about his comparison with the former Pakistan pacer, Shoaib Akhtar.

Umran Malik said, “My dream for IPL 2023 to pick wickets of Virat Kohli bhai, KL Rahul bhai and Rohit Sharma bhai.” He further added, “I want to win Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup in India. I’m not thinking about breaking Shoaib Akhtar’s record for the fastest delivery in cricket history. If Allah wants it to happen, it will happen for me.”
