Umran Malik sparked the IPL 2022 season with his raw pace, but his form has plummeted and he has been smacked for a lot of runs as SunRisers Hyderabad have lost four consecutive games. Malik had given up 100 runs for no wickets in his previous two appearances before losing to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri delivered a strong warning to the young bowler, saying that if he does not use his pace efficiently, it will be of little use in the shortest format.
Before SRH’s match against RCB, Shastri was asked what can be done to help Umran Malik develop more control over his bowling “When someone tells him on his face that having 156 is great, that it’s exciting, that it’s brilliant, that we all love it, that you have a bright future, that you’ll be playing for India soon. However, if you don’t get it properly the first time, that 156 will go for 256 immediately away. That is precisely what is taking place.”
“The pace is nice, but you must keep in mind that you must focus on the correct regions. Otherwise, keep your distance from the batter and use that space carefully. Those are the kinds of concepts you should be thinking about “Shastri gave the boy some advice.
“You’re going to fetch and fetch a lot if you don’t get it correctly. It takes off at 250 to 300 knots right away! “Umran Malik was cautioned by him.
“As the competition develops, the pitches will become slower. Seam movement, which was there in the first two or three weeks, is no longer present, and the pitches are better for batting. As a result, he must get it right “Shastri explained.
“I’m looking through the material, and it says 156, 154, and it doesn’t matter in this format. You need to put it in the correct places, which he hasn’t done. He will be lot more consistent if he attacks the stumps. 156, 157 – wonderful, but channel it in the appropriate direction, “he stated
Umran Malik was once again costly against RCB, as he was dismissed for 20 runs in his first over and was only handed two overs in the match as SRH lost by 67 runs.
