Umran Malik remained unsold in IPL 2024 mega auction, was once the fastest bowler
Indian fast bowler Umran Malik, who bowled the fastest ball in the history of IPL, did not find any buyer in the first round of the mega auction. Sunrisers Hyderabad had released him before the auction, and now no team has bid for Umran in IPL 2024.
Umran Malik, who came into limelight in 2022 for bowling the ball at a speed of 157 kmph, failed to maintain consistency in his performance in the last few seasons. In 2023, he took only 5 wickets in 8 matches, which affected his reputation. In 2024, he got a chance to play just one match, which further weakened his position.
Umran is appreciated for his speed and talent, but his fitness and performance have seen ups and downs in the last few years. However, the fast balls bowled by him always thrill the spectators, and the hopes of his comeback remain high. It will be interesting to see which direction Umran’s cricket career will go after IPL 2024.
