“I think in South Africa we grow up facing fast bowlers but I don’t think no batter likes to face ball at 150 kmph. But you prepare as well as you can. We also got guys who can bowl 150 kmph. So we have that weaponry in our arsenal. But Umran Malik is a special talent for Team India and I hope that he could emulate his IPL performance in international cricket,” Bavuma added.
Named the Emerging Player of the IPL 2022 season, Malik finished the season with 22 wickets consistently bowling in excess of 150 kmph. The 22-year-old also bowled one of the fastest deliveries in IPL history, clocking 157 kmph in a couple of instances. Malik’s impressive performances and sheer skill saw him fast-tracked into the Indian side and the Sunrisers star is set to make his debut against South Africa next month.
