After a sensational performance in Challenger Trophy, Arshdeep got selected for the U-19 World-Cup squad. Talking about his noteworthy performance, he took a hattrick in CK Nayudu Trophy, which brought him into the selector’s eyes. He also grabbed eight wickets for the U-23 team.

Arshdeep Singh’s Journey From Ranji to IPL

Arshdeep made his first-class debut for Punjab in Ranji Trophy. He turned out to be a great success for the team. Due to his efficient bowling and fierce mindset, he was selected by Punjab Kings in 2018. He made his debut in 2019 for Punjab Kings and emerged as a very efficient bowler. In his first match for Punjab Kings, he accounted for two big guns of Rajasthan Royals,Jos Buttler and Ajinkya Rahane. It turned out to be an eventful debut for the youngster. However, he did not get to play many matches and was out for many following games. He was back again a couple of matches later to play against SRH.

The left-arm pacer has a potent of constantly bowling at more than 145 kmph, which leaves every opponent wholly stunned! His perfect Yorkers impressed all cricket experts and were praised by everyone. By the end of his first year, he had only played three matches and taken three wickets. In these few matches, he had been impressive enough to be considered one of Punjab Kings’ main bowlers in the next season. After several outstanding performances in IPL, Arshdeep Singh was named as a net bowler for the Indian team’s tour of Sri Lanka. He was part of the squad for the last two matches of the T20 series after a positive Covid-19 case.

Umran Malik: 

Out of the numerous young names rising and flourishing through the IPL, a name that has been a hotly debated topic is Umran Malik. The youngster has troubled many great batters with his furious and stunning pace, which has been his best weapon and a valuable asset for his bowling unit. The pacer has been pretty economical in his first class and IPL career. Hitting boundaries against his expeditious balls has been a great challenge for every batter, making him a considerable threat to the opponent's batting line-up. With his consistent ability to bowl at more than 145-plus kmph, Umran Malik has been a great success at death overs. 

Opportunity grabbed well!

Sunrisers Hyderabad bought Umran Malik in 2021 to replace their crucial bowler, T Natarajan. Replacing Natarajan was not easy, and nobody expected the youngster to be that effective. But Umran Malik, in the first match against Kolkata Knight Riders, bowled a super stunning delivery at 151.03 kmph and marked his arrival. No Indian bowler has touched this margin before in the ongoing season. Later, against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the quickie broke his record by bowling a 153 kmph delivery! In the match, he clocked several deliveries at a pace of around 150 kmph. Umran, with furious bowling, was catching everyone's eyes, and thus the pacer was being called the 'pace machine'! Umran Malik was named in the Indian squad for the five T20 Internationals against South Africa.

Both Umran Malik & Arshdeep Singh will now debut in International Cricket.
