Umran’s ball, which was also the quickest in the game, reached a speed of 155kph during his time. The dangerous Shanaka was taken out by India thanks to Umran’s thunderbolt; he took 45 off 27 balls before being caught by Yuzvendra Chahal at extra cover.

 

With a thrilling two-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first T20I on Tuesday in Mumbai, Team India got off to a strong start in the new year. Hardik Pandya was in charge of the team. In the match, Shivam Mavi, playing for the first time for India, stood out as the player to watch, taking four wickets and allowing only 22 runs in his four overs.

 

As a result of Mavi’s efforts, India put Sri Lanka on the back foot from the outset of the 163-run chase. He took a wicket in each of his first two overs. Not only that, but Mavi was as good in his comeback period, giving Wanindu Hasaranga a significant milestone for India, who was working on a rescue act for the visitors with Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka. Maheesh Theekshana was then struck out by Mavi in his final over.

 

Peers were a huge source of encouragement for Mavi, especially Umran Malik, who astounded the crowd with his furious pace. The bowler with lightning-quick pace returned with two wickets and 27 runs allowed in his four overs. Umran’s ball, which was also the quickest in the game, reached a speed of 155kph during his time.

 

The dangerous Shanaka was taken out by India thanks to Umran’s thunderbolt; he took 45 off 27 balls before being caught by Yuzvendra Chahal at extra cover.

 

With his fantastic achievement, Umran broke Jasprit Bumrah’s record for the fastest time among Indian pacers. The maximum speed that Bumrah has yet to reach is 153.36 kph. Following the bowler, who was selected for the Tuesday ODI match against Sri Lanka, are Navdeep Saini (153.3 kph), Mohammed Shami, and (152.85 kph).

 

Many admirers and analysts praised Umesh after his magnificent performance on Tuesday at Wankhede.
