156KMPH – Umran Malik breaks his own record in first ODI vs Sri Lanka

Umran Malik’s raw pace during Sri Lanka’s run chase on Tuesday (January 10), following Virat Kohli’s 45th ODI ton, propelled India to a massive 373 for 7 in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. Malik bowled the fastest delivery ever bowled by an Indian in international cricket, clocking 156 kilometers per hour, when he came on to bowl after Md Siraj’s early blows damaged the Islanders. The speedster for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has been grabbing attention with serious pace ever since his memorable performance in IPL 2022. During the first ODI of the series in Guwahati, he once again turned heads.
