[Watch] Umran Malik Loses Bet To Teammate Nicholas Pooran During SRH Training

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) cricketers Nicholas Pooran and Umran Malik had a fun banter during one of the training sessions ahead of their IPL 2022 opener against Rajasthan Royals (RR).

Pooran challenged Malik to bowl a yorker and offered to buy him dinner if he was successful in the quest. The express pacer would have to do the same if he failed to deliver a yorker.

The Hyderabad franchise shared the fun banter on their social media handle and captioned it:

“Did @umran_malik_1 buy you dinner as promised, @nicholaspooran? 🤣#OrangeArmy #ReadyToRise #TATAIPL”

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Jammu Kashmir pacer went on to bowl a length delivery, which meant he lost the bet to Nicholas Pooran. The youngster also promised the West Indian to buy a dinner.


“Just because I had one bad season, it’s not going to change the player I am” – Nicholas Pooran

The Trinidadian endured a poor season in 2021 where he averaged only 7.75 with the bat for the Punjab Kings. Pooran is not concerned about what has happened in the past and is keen to bring out the best version of himself in the upcoming session.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, he said:

“It doesn’t feel like that. Just because I had one bad season, it’s not going to change the player I am. I am doing pretty well in international cricket and everyone sees that. For me it’s about giving back to my team – the Sunrisers have invested a lot in me and so I just want to give my all for them – to me it’s about being the best version of myself.”

Sunrisers Hyderabad will begin their IPL 2022 campaign against Rajasthan Royals on March 29.
