GT vs SRH IPL 2023: Why is Umran Malik Not Playing Today’s IPL Match?

Umran Malik, the tearaway speedster of SRH, has been excluded from the playing 11 for the GT vs SRH match no 62 of Tata IPL 2023. Currently positioned at the 9th spot on the points table, the Sunrisers are in desperate need of victories in all their remaining games to secure a place in the playoffs. Malik has been facing significant struggles this season and has been unable to regain his form. Regrettably, his performance has become a liability for SRH, leading the team management to not even consider him as a substitute. Malik participated in 7 matches, the pacer from Jammu has only managed to capture 5 wickets, accompanied by a disappointing economy rate of 10.35. Here’s what SRH skipper Aiden Markram said at the toss,

“We are gonna bowl first, looks like there is moisture on this wicket, something for the pacers to utilise. If things are meant to work out, it will work out. Guys have the permission to express themselves. We look forward to doing that. Trying to play really good cricket, up to our potential and abilities. We have been playing really good cricket but not getting over the line. Would like to pack a punch tonight. Marco Jansen comes in for Glenn Phillips.”
