Possessing extreme pace is a rare enough sight in world cricket nowadays. Sure, there are plenty of bowlers going around who can bowl in and around the 145/150 km/h mark, but Umran Malik carries on his shoulders the weight of expectations of a whole nation. 

Malik exploded onto the scene in the 2021 IPL when he clocked a handful of deliveries north of 150 to get the pulse of the country racing. He proceeded to take things a few more steps further by producing not just a stellar wicket-taking season in the IPL, but by also delivering a ball clocked at 157 km/h!
