Legendary Australian bowler Brett Lee told news agency ANI this week that Umran reminded him a little bit of Waqar Younis.
Umran, on the other hand, has revealed that he has never admired past Pakistan pacers and that his bowling inspirations are Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, or SRH colleague Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
“I haven’t followed up on Waqar Younis. I get an instinctive reaction. Bumrah, Shami, and Bhuvneshwar bhai are among of my idols. “When I was going up through the ranks, I used to follow them,” Umran told The Indian Express.
The speedster has also stated that he has not become overly excited since being picked to the national squad, and that his objective is to assist India in winning all five T20Is against South Africa.
“It’s pointless to get swept up. Inshallah, if it is destined to happen, it will. I would like to give my all for my nation. I have a chance in these five (T20I) matches (against South Africa). “My objective is for us to win all five matches, for me to perform well and win those games for India,” the talented cricketer revealed in his interview.
