IND vs SA LIVE 2nd T20: Dilip Vengsarkar’s BIG ADVICE to Rahul Dravid, says ‘Play Umran Malik, he is READY for International cricket’
Indian Playing XI 3RD T20? Notably, Umran Malik made headlines for his fiery bowling for Sunriser Hyderabad in IPL 2022.
He was subsequently made a part of the Indian team.
Despite bowling express pace in the nets, Rahul Dravid did not select the Jammu & Kashmir lad for the first two matches against SA. Instead Dravid opted for more experienced players in Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel in XI.
However, Vengsarkar feels that India are missing a trick by keeping Malik on the bench. “Everybody has a different outlook on the game. But I feel he deserves to play after showing that kind of speed and accuracy in the IPL.
Also when you are playing (international cricket) at home, that’s the right time to test somebody like him,” he said, while speaking to Khaleej Times.
“He is one of the most exciting prospects I have seen in the last 10 years. I hope he does well because he looks very fit. He has that aggression of fast bowler. He has got pace and accuracy. I think he should be able to play for India for a long time,” the former Indian cricketer further added.

Whom will Umran Malik replace?
The number 1 candidate to be dropped to the bench seems to be Harshal Patel. Harshal conceded 43 runs in his four overs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, including a game-defining over where he leaked 22 runs.
In the 2nd match he bowled well for 17 of 3 overs and picked 1 wicket. But Vengsarkar says if India needs a X-Factor, Umran Malik is the answer.
