Umran Malik came to do the 17th over of the Sri Lankan innings. He bowled the fourth ball of the over at a speed of 155 on which Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka was bowled over. Sanaka had no answer to this ball. He wanted to hit a strong stroke on this ball going outside the off-stump but the ball went to the extra cover where Yuzvendra Chahal caught the catch. After the dismissal of Sanaka, the victory came back in Team India’s lap. Sanaka was dismissed after scoring 45 runs in 27 balls.

Before the series against Sri Lanka, Umran had said that he would break Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar’s record of throwing the fastest ball in international cricket. It looks like Umran will soon break his record. During the 2003 World Cup, Shoaib Akhtar had bowled a ball at a speed of 161.3 kmph to Nick Knight against England, which is a world record in the cricket world.
