“Umran Malik does it again for India” – Twitter reacts after Umran Malik rips through defense of Sri Lanka’s batting with superb bowling spell

India’s fast bowling sensation Umran Malik who is named in both T20I and ODI squad against Sri Lanka has by far been pretty decent in the ongoing T20I series. During the T20I opener at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, he took two wickets to his name.

The right-arm fast bowler dismissed the likes of Charith Asalanka and skipper Dasun Shanaka. Notably, he registered 2/27 in his quota of 4 overs at an economy of 6.80 and draw encomiums for his superb bowling spell.

Team India pulled off the ropes from the jaws of defeat as they got the better of Sri Lanka by two runs and took the first lead in the series. Meanwhile, the right-arm paceman is part of the ongoing second T20I against Sri Lanka.

The game is currently taking place at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. India’s T20I skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first. Sri Lanka’s opening pair namely Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis added 80 runs for the first wicket.
