Ind v SL T20I- Record-Breaking Bowling
Umran Malik has come across as the most wicket-taking pacer for the 3-match T20 International series against Sri Lanka, where he bagged seven wickets. Malik broke the record by bowling at the speed of 155 kmph, which is the fastest bowling ever by an Indian Bowler, and Jasprit Bumrah held the previous record of fast bowling at 153.36 kmph. Definitely, he has got all that it takes to become India’s one of best fast bowlers.
