hindustantimes.com

Umran Malik, a 25-year-old fast bowler, will miss IPL 2025 due to injury. He was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹ 75 lakh, hoping to replicate his successful 2022 season with Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he took 22 wickets. Dale Steyn, who coached Umran during his breakout season, shared a story about Umran ignoring his advice to bowl slower balls. Instead, Umran bowled a 155kph yorker, demonstrating his natural talent. Umran's recent performance has declined due to fitness issues, with only five wickets in IPL 2023 and none last year. Steyn noted that understanding team needs is crucial for a player's success.
