Life
has
changed
for
Umran
in
a
space
of
couple
of
months.
With
just
two
senior
level
domestic
matches
under
his
belt
before
the
start
of
IPL,
the
21-year-old
has
impressed
skipper
Virat
Kohli
so
much
that
he
has
been
summoned
as
a
net
bowler
with
Indian
team.
Umran
impressed
many
with
his
raw
pace
while
playing
for
SRH
this
season
and
consistently
bowled
around
the
150kmph
mark.
He
also
bowled
the
fastest
ball
of
the
IPL
at
153
kmph.
Umran’s
father
is
a
fruit
shop
owner.
“Yes,
Umran
is
staying
back
as
he
will
join
Team
India
bubble
as
a
net
bowler,”
a
source
close
to
SRH
franchise
told
PTI
on
the
condition
of
anonymity.
In
his
debut
IPL
season,
the
pacer
took
two
wickets
in
three
games.
His
team
SRH
finished
last
in
the
standings.
Umran
also
attracted
praise
from
India
skipper
Kohli.
“This
tournament
throws
up
talent
every
year,
good
to
see
a
guy
bowling
at
150
clicks.
It
is
important
to
understand
the
progress
of
individuals
from
here
on,”
Kohli
said
earlier
this
week.
“The
pool
of
fast
bowlers
being
strong
is
always
a
good
sign
for
Indian
cricket
and
whenever
you
see
talent
like
this,
you
are
going
to
have
your
eyes
on
them
and
make
sure
you
maximise
their
potential
which
is
already
being
seen
at
the
IPL
level,”
he
added.
India
open
their
T20
World
Cup
campaign
against
Pakistan
on
October
24.
