Brian Lara was recently released from his duties of head coach by Sunrisers Hyderabad, the West-Indian legend coached SRH for two years in IPL 2021 and 2022 season and one of the rising stars of the Indian cricket team Umran Malik was also coached by him during his short tenure. Umran malik played only few matches in the IPL 2023 due to which SRH faced criticism as the bowler had a lot of potential which he proved in the IPL 2022 by receiving the emerging player of the season award he scalped 22 wickets in the IPL 2022 but didn’t do much in the IPL 2023 as he played 8 matches taking only 5 wickets.
Umran Malik was in the ODI squad of the Indian team during India’s tour of West Indies but he only played one match in the ODI series and bowled only three overs picking no wickets, the pace of Umran Malik is always the main theme to discuss but the bowler still needs to work on his line, length and variations and recently while talking to a YouTube channel Brian Lara expressed his views on the bowler and named the South-African great Dale Steyn to train him.
He will be a sensation, but very quickly he will have to learn that fast bowling really does not trouble the best players in the world. You have to have the ability to do something with the ball, be sensible, and maybe understand times when you have to trickle back or understand the times when you have to up the tempo. He is very young and has got a lot of years ahead of him

Brian Lara praised the bowler for his pace but cautioned him that he needs to focus on variations more to trouble batters.
We have had so many different examples. Wasim Akram was raw pace, Malcolm Marshall had destructive pace, and Michael Holding. But they all know that at some point in time, they had to come with a lot more tricks than just being able to bowl fast. If he (Umran Malik) works with Dale Steyn, he could definitely be one of the best India could produce.
