Umran Malik has improved a lot after IPL – Wasim Jaffer
Wasim Jaffer has praised Umran Malik’s bowling a lot. Speaking to ESPN Cricinfo, he said,
According to me there has been a lot of improvement in Umran Malik. Ever since I saw him in the IPL, I initially thought he would be very expensive in the T20 format as he doesn’t have any variation or a slower ball. When you bowl at 145-150 kmph, sometimes you have to trick the batsmen with your pace. Whenever a bowler bowls with pace, then the batsmen take advantage of his pace. Although his line and length have improved a lot. Apart from this, he also has the ability to take wickets. He also proved to be expensive but also took important wickets. That’s why he showed a lot of improvement since IPL.
