Umran Malik, an Indian paceman, ignited the speed gun on Tuesday at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati by bowling a 156 kph delivery versus Sri Lanka. Malik broke his personal mark to overtake another Indian pacer. The fast bowler delivered the ball in the second over of his opening spell (the 14th over of the inning). In the first T20I match against Sri Lanka, the right-arm pacer beat out Jasprit Bumrah’s record by clocking in at 155 kph on the speed radar. The pacer, who was born in Jammu, beat Bumrah’s previous record of 153.36 kph to become the fastest Indian bowler.
