Umranaluk said that he will look to perform in the last game and also revealed that he has worked on his variations. Speaking to broadcasters ahead of the game against MI, he said: “I’m playing today. This year, I have bowled a few overs and taken only 5 wickets in 7 games. I believe in hard work. Today I get a chance, hopefully I perform well.
“I haven’t compromised on my pace, I am trying to bowl in the right areas and also working on variations. When the team needs wickets, I try to take wickets, otherwise I try to stop the flow of runs. I am playing after a while, so I’ll try to do my best and execute my plans.”
