Team India: Every year many talented players join the Indian team. Some of these players make their mark all over the world on the basis of their talent. However, on the other hand, the career of some cricketers ends even before it starts.

One such promising player of Team India was once called the second Shoaib Akhtar. However, due to not getting opportunities from captain Rohit Sharma and the team management, today he is forced to live a life of anonymity. Actually we are talking about young fast bowler Umran Malik.

The promising player of Team India is "anonymous" today

Kashmir-born Team India player Umran Malik first made headlines during the IPL. In fact, while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, the right-arm fast bowler created a sensation by bowling at a speed of 157 kmph during the 2022 edition.

After this, he was called India's Shoaib Akhtar.

In view of this, the Indian selectors gave him a place in Team India for the T20 series against Ireland in the same year. At the end of the year, he made his debut in ODI cricket against New Zealand. However, he could not stay in the team for long in international cricket. Due to inconsistency in the performance of the 24-year-old pacer, he was dropped from the Indian team.

Captain Rohit Sharma did not express confidence

Umran Malik's biggest strength is that he can bowl 6 consecutive balls at a speed of above 150 kmph.

He also has the ability to bowl accurate yorkers and bouncers. However, Team India captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid did not show much confidence in him. This is the reason why after playing 10 ODIs and 8 T20s for India, this player is out of the team today.

Did not get enough opportunities in IPL 2024

Umran Malik got a chance to play only one match in IPL 2024. Due to the presence of many great players in the Sunrisers Hyderabad team, the young player had to sit on the bench continuously.

Let us tell you that earlier this year, BCCI placed Umran in a special grade in the central contract, in which apart from him there are other fast bowlers as well.

Actually, the board wants to shape the future of these young pacers so that they can contribute to the country.
