IND vs SL, 1st ODI: Umran clocks 156km/h, beats own record and becomes fastest Indian bowler
The 23-year-old reached the milestone in the 14th over of the Sri Lankan innings. He took 3/57 in his eight overs and acted as the middle overs enforcer for India.
Most recently, Umran had surpassed Jasprit Bumrah (153.6 km/h) to bowl the fastest delivery in international cricket by an Indian after a 155 km/h delivery in the first T20I against Sri Lanka.
Notably, the Jammu and Kashmir pacer has also bowled at a speed of 157 mph in the IPL. He has been making money lately by controlling his line and length apart from delivering balls at extreme pace.
“I’ve played six games, I just want to bowl well and in the right areas. The wicket was flat, I spoke to Siraj bhai, Shami bhai, the input was to get the most out of my pace. I want to be as accurate as possible ‘ said Umran after India’s victory.
Virat Kohli’s 45th ODI century and captaincy Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the 1950s took India to a 67-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first game and a 1–0 lead in the three-match series.
