In the 65th match of IPL 2023, Sunrisers Hyderabad faced Royal Challengers Bangalore. Meanwhile, everyone was surprised about the playing XI of the team and now former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan has also expressed his reaction on this.

Team ignoring Umran –

Zaheer said in a media interaction on Thursday – “The franchise has done a poor job in managing 23-year-old Umran. He said that I think Umran Malik was not handled by the franchise the way he should have been done.”

Zaheer further said – “The way SRH should have used Umran’s talent, it has not been done. And it is clearly visible. The bowler from Jammu and Kashmir made his debut for India in T20 and ODI formats after earning the tag of the emerging player of the tournament in 2022.”

Zaheer further added –

“Umran was not getting proper care in the Hyderabad team. When you are talking about a young fast bowler, you have to create that atmosphere and support in the team. Umran needs guidance, which the Hyderabad team didn’t pay heed to. Due to this, this season has been like this for Umran.”
