Now just 2 days are left for the start of T20 series between India and South Africa. Both the teams are busy in preparations at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Talking about the Indian team, every player of it is sweating. Why not shed it because the pressure will be on the players of this team. That’s because there are no big names like Virat-Rohit, Bumrah in the team. There are many young players in the squad and every player wants to stake his claim for a place in the team for the World Cup to be held in October. The BCCI has shared the video of Team India’s practice with the fans, in which all the players are seen working hard. But the most important thing in this video is the conversation between Umran Malik and Rahul Dravid, which is going to cost South Africa.
Umran Malik to debut?
According to a report in Inside Sport, head coach Rahul Dravid spent a lot of time with young fast bowler Umran Malik. Before the nets, Dravid talked to Umran for 20 minutes. Dravid was seen pointing at the wicket and saying something. According to the report, Umran Malik has got the license to bowl at his full speed and it is possible that this player from Jammu and Kashmir will also make his debut in Delhi T20.
Dravid decided the future of Umran Malik?
If reports are to be believed, Rahul Dravid considers Umran Malik as the future of Team India. Recently, Umran bowled the ball at a speed of 157 KMPH in IPL 2022. Dravid also wants to make Umran a Test cricketer considering his ability. It is being told that Rahul Dravid has instructed the physio that he should take special care of Umran Malik. Along with this, there have been talks to manage their workload and fitness plan as well.
Umran made his mark on the nets
Umran Malik also showed his speed on the nets. In the video released by BCCI, this bowler dismissed Deepak Hooda on his fast ball. Let us tell you that international cricket will not be so easy for Umran Malik. Umran Malik definitely has the pace but he has to work on his other balls as well. Including slower balls. By the way, Umran can learn this art from his fellow players. Harshal Patel has the art of throwing the best slow ball, so Umran can take help from him. He can take help from Bhuvneshwar Kumar for swing. Now it remains to be seen whether Umran Malik gets a chance in the first T20 or not. How would he perform if he made his debut?
