From CricArcade's IPL records, 2021 to 2024 · Sources

Umran Malik, a bowler, played four IPL seasons, all of them with Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The arrival

Umran Malik's first IPL season was 2021, with Sunrisers Hyderabad, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 3 matches and 2 wickets at 8.00 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2022, for Sunrisers Hyderabad: 22 wickets at 8.91 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.36, with best figures of 5 for 25.

One franchise

Umran Malik spent the whole IPL career with Sunrisers Hyderabad, from 2021 to 2024.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 29 wickets in 497 deliveries, at 9.32 runs an over against a league rate of 8.41 for the same seasons: 0.91 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often. There were two four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 5 for 25.

The fielding record: 4 catches and 2 run-outs.

At the auction

Umran Malik went under the hammer once. The price was ₹75 lakh, paid by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2025. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2025.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

The legacy

Umran Malik made 26 IPL appearances, the last for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2024, and won 2 player-of-the-match awards.
