“Irfan Pathan defends Umran Malik’s performance in IPL 2023 amidst criticism”

Former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan has now come forward against the attacks on Jammu and Kashmir pacer Umran Malik and against those who accuse him. In IPL 2023, India’s fastest pacer Umran Malin played only eight matches across the league and took 5 wickets. Umran, who performed well last season and finally made it to the Indian team, has played in a very poor form this season. It should also be noted that the star could not find his rhythm even in a match.

“I am baffled by the comments made about the fastest bowlers in the league. Umran Malik was not handled well by his team,” said Irfan Pathan. Recently, Virender Sehwag blamed Malik for not learning anything from Dale Steyn at the SRH camp. Irfan Pathan disagreed.

“So first. Take last year, he was the highest wicket taker for SRH. Is that right? After that he also played for India. We are talking about someone who bowls more than 150. Here we blame his line and length. So should he slow down to fix it like we say? This is the right thing to do.” Pathan said.

“My advice to Umran is always personal. So it’s always shared. It has always been talked about. NCA has also treated him well. There are always conversations between the coaches and Umran. We have already made a plan on how to take it forward. But the team should have given him more support. Let me give you a simple example, Tusshar Deshpande of Chennai. He was in a similar situation, but he is playing games and taking wickets – look where he is now. It’s not about the franchise, it’s about the selectors picking the playing XI,” added Irfan, who played 103 matches in the IPL.
