Something about pace that has you on the edge of your seat. Umran Malik isn't just a tearaway. He looks a proper bowler and we need to look after him.@IrfanPathan, any more there in Jammu and Kashmir?

Umar Malik is definitely find of the IPL this season. It's amazing that IPL is providing platform for youngsters to show case their talent and gain experience exposure a great learning curve for them in mixup. To find 150+bowlers with control young age non test centre fabulous
