'Even Shaheen doesn't bowl over 145 kph, but Umran...': Pakistan legend says SRH pacer will 'make a name for himself'

Hindustan Times  

With one impressive performances after the other in IPL 2022, Umran Malik is winning admirers. India has traditionally produced brilliant fast bowlers, but probably none as quick as Umran. Latif reckons Umran can be in it for the long haul and his emergence is a sign that India will continue to produce fast bowlers with excess pace. Comparing Umran with the best pace bowlers in the world, the former Pakistan captain believes that the Indian quick is ahead of the likes of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and even Shaheen Afridi for that matter as all three bowlers have dropped their pace. Even Shaheen can’t bowl beyond 145 kph, but Umran Malik is different.
