Former Pakistan fast bowler Aaqib Javed has made a comparison between India’s Umran Malik and Pakistan’s Haris Rauf, and the results might surprise you. While Haris has been dominating the international cricket scene for a while now, Umran is a new addition to the Indian bowling attack.
Haris Rauf, known for his incredible pace, has been a nightmare for opposing batsmen across formats, consistently clocking in at over 150kph. On the other hand, Umran Malik, who made his debut in limited-overs cricket, may not be as well-trained or fit as Rauf. According to Javed, while Umran touches 150KPH in his first spell, his speed drops to 138kph after 6-7 overs.
Currently, Umran is a part of the ongoing ODI series against the Tom Latham-led team, but has yet to find a place in the playing XI. With Haris’ impressive performances, and Aaqib’s endorsement, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this speed showdown.
