Revealed: SRH pacer Umran Malik won THIS staggering sum through awards in IPL 2022

Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik's rise to the top has been a fairytale story for the youngster from Jammu and Kashmir. Having taken the IPL 2022 season by storm with his ability to consistently bowl above 150 clicks, Malik was rewarded by a maiden Indian call-up recently, as a reward for his heroics in IPL 2022. 

While some of his performances were questionable, on certain days Umran Malik was simply unplayable, as he left the opposition in a tough spot through his pace. It was such a stellar campaign for Malik that he earned a staggering sum of INR 29 lakhs through prizes and awards alone in 14 games that he played. 

The youngster bagged the 'Fastest delivery of the Match' award in all of the 14 games in which he played for SRH, thereby amassing a total of INR 14 lakhs via this segment.

He kept breaking his own records, until reaching a speed of 157kmph against Delhi Capitals earlier in the season, a record which Lockie Ferguson surpassed in the final, by clocking 157.3kmph. 

The SRH sensation holds a unique record of winning at least one award in every game that he played during IPL 2022.
