Umran Malik is touted as India’s future pace star. Legends around the world have sung hosannas on him, but he hasn’t found a place in the struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad team.

The Jammu and Kashmir-based fast bowler, who clocked 157 kmph in the IPL last year, has played only seven matches (five wickets at an economy rate of 10.35) this season. “We have to play each game to win. So, it is strictly on the fact that the form of the player is something that we look at,” SRH head coach Brian Lara said about  Malik’s omission since April 29.
