On 3rd October, last year when Umran Malik made his IPL debut with Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 22-year-old clocked a sensational 150 kmph in his first-ever IPL over. Cut to May 2022, the impressive pace of the Jammu & Kashmir-based cricketer has earned him a much-anticipated spot in the Indian T20 team for the upcoming 5-match South Africa T20 series.
Umran Malik who makes 150kmph look like a piece of cake is only the 2nd Indian cricketer who will play from J&K after Parvez Rasool. The selection committee right away picked up the right-arm fast bowler whose hostile speed had made heads turn this year too. In the 15th edition, Malik’s 157 kmph delivery against Delhi Capitals made a splash as it made many believe that he could break Shoaib Akhtar & Brett Lee’s 160kmph record.
While in his debut season, the young speedster got 2 wickets in 3 games, this season, Malik, a son of a fruitseller, who was being trained under Dale Steyn picked a total of 22 wickets in 14 games. In all the 14 games he played for SRH who had retained him before the IPL 2022 mega auctions, the sensational bowler was awarded the ‘fastest delivery of the match’ this season. Malik though leaked runs, but his promising pace has the potential to upset any line-up in the world.

Umran Malik's selection in the Indian T20 team against South Africa is currently the talk of the town and Virender Sehwag too, has joined in praising the 22-year-old speed sensation. Malik with his ability to regularly deliver bowls at around 150kmph forced the selection committee to pick him up for the upcoming 5-match home series which is set to begin on 9th June. Lauding him, the former Indian cricketer, Virender Sehwag said that the Sunrisers Hyderabad's cricketer is a special talent who can turn out to be an important asset to Team India. However, he warned the skipper KL Rahul, who will lead India in the SA series in absence of Rohit Sharma of using the youngster efficiently.

With unpleasant weather conditions prevailing in Kolkata where the Qualifier 1 and Eliminator of IPL 2022 will take place, BCCI has issued new rules for this season's playoffs.
As per the new rules, if heavy rain plays a villain during any of the playoff games, a 5-over-a-side game would be played, if that is not feasible, a super over would determine the winner of the game. In unforeseen circumstances, if holding the super-overs also becomes difficult then the winner of the particular match will be decided on the basis of their league stage performances. These regulations will remain the same for the finals as well. However, a reserve day has been allocated if the finals are disrupted due to weather issues.
These new rules would mean, the better team will move ahead without having to play the particular match. For the first Qualifier and Eliminator that will be played between Gujarat and Rajasthan and Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore respectively, the better team will win without any contest if weather conditions do not allow the match to proceed.
This puts Royal Challengers Bangalore in a difficult situation as the team has qualified in the 4th spot in IPL. Hence, Faf du Plessis' side faces the fear of getting knocked out without any fair chance. Rajasthan Royals, however, will still get a chance in Qualifier 2, which will be held in Ahmedabad.

Punjab Kings had a horrendous season yet again, but their retained bowler, Arshdeep Singh turned out to be a hidden diamond who upskilled himself with every passing match this IPL season.
The Punjab-based cricketer started poorly in IPL 2022 but emerged as a death bowl specialist by the end of Punjab Kings’ IPL campaign in the 15th edition. Boasting an economy of 7.7, Arshdeep gradually became Mayank Agarwal’s go-to man in the death overs. His ability to deliver pin-point yorkers at will, not leak runs under pressure, and, most importantly, to stay calm came in handy for Punjab Kings in the most dangerous situations. In his 4-years of IPL experience, the 2018 U-19 World Cup-winning cricketer has collected 40 wickets in 37 matches, out of which he picked 10 in the 14 matches of IPL 2022.
His control over the game in the last overs caught the eye of the selectors who picked him for his first-ever T20 assignment against South Africa. The 23-year-old left-arm bowler who made his IPL debut in 2019 will now play alongside Harshal Patel, Umar Malik, and Avesh Khan in the national jersey.
