Malik played his first game of the ongoing IPL season against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday. He had a really poor start, conceding 14 runs in his first three deliveries, but the lad from Kashmir made an excellent comeback and conceded only 25 runs in his next 21 balls. Besides that, he also picked up the crucial wickets of Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal.

Ravi Shastri, who was a commentator in this game, was awestruck by the fiery pace and controlled line and length of Malik’s bowling. He even claimed that the youngster is a future national team player who can turn out to be an asset for India.

He further went on to add “I think he has to be around the mix of the Indian cricket team. The selectors have to watch him closely. He can be part of the extended party of the Indian cricket team in these Covid-19 times. He is consistent and I like his attitude. This kid can only learn.”

Meanwhile, while Malik had a good game against Rajasthan Royals, his team Sunrisers Hyderabad had an awful outing as they suffered a 61-run defeat. Kane Williamson’s team will be desperate to get back to winning ways from the next game onwards.
