At 150 kph deliveries he proved to be the fastest bowler in the 2021 IPL season and though his Sunrisers team could not advance, the Indian cricket board has drafted him into the World Cup squad as a net bowler. "Just two days ago Umran was scheduled to return home from the UAE, where Sunrisers Hyderabad finished all its group matches and on the same night we got a call from him, conveying good news that he has been retained", his father Abdul Rasheed, who is a fruit seller in Jammu said exclusively over the telephone. He was unaware of professional cricket till 2018 when he gave trials for U-19 and he got selected after that he played under -19 days and then he played few matches of U-23 and after that in 2021 he made his debut in Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy and he also played one match of Vijay Hazare trophy. He used to skip his hard ball practice to play tennis cricket but his coach Mr Randheer Singh Manhas advised him one day and told him that you’re going to be a big name in cricket if you just focus on hard ball cricket.
