He bowled at 153.3 Km/hr speed during the 15th over of Gujarat innings.
"Umran Malik will play for India very soon..... If I was the @BCCI I would be sending him to play some County cricket this summer to help him develop first though," said the former England captain Michael Vaughan on Twitter.
In IPL 2021 too in the match against Chennai Super Kings Malik bowled the fastest ball of the season clocking 153.1 Km/hr. The youngster finished his spell with figures of 1/39 in his 4 overs against Gujarat Titans.
