Umran Malik father and mother: Umran Malik family rejoices as Jammu and Kashmir pacer picks maiden ODI wicket on debut vs New Zealand

An overall ordinary bowling performance from team India did lead to their downfall in the first ODI versus New Zealand at Auckland, but it was an ODI debut worth remembering for the Jammu and Kashmir express pacer Umran Malik.

Coming in to bowl after the 10-Over mark, Umran scalped his maiden ODI wicket on the first delivery of his third Over, as he got rid of the Kiwi opener Devon Conway (24 off 42). The right-arm quick bowled a pacey delivery, full outside the off-stump to which Conway slashed hard, only to get a faint outside edge of his bat through to wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant.

A couple of Overs later, he dismissed Daryl Mitchell as well in the latter’s attempt to play an aggressive stroke, which was poorly timed into the hands of Deepak Hooda at Deep Point.

Umran’s two quick wickets brought India into the game with a reasonable chance, but the pair of Kane Williamson and Tom Latham had some other plans, as they batted through till the 48th Over to see their side through with a double century stand for the fourth wicket.

Umran finished his debut ODI spell with figures of 10-0-66-2.
