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…
