Known for his blistering pace, the 24-year-old youngster has been working with the SRH franchise since his debut in 2021. The Jammu and Kashmir-born cricketer was retained by SRH for INR 4 crore after replacing T Natarajan for a short-term basis in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. He bagged 22 wickets from 14 matches in the 2022 season, but his performance declined thereafter He got to play just eight matches in IPL 2023 as he picked five wickets at an average of 43.40 and an economy rate of 10.85. In the subsequent season, he got to feature in just one match. Despite this, the Jammu-Express still remains a hot property and several teams will be interested in signing him at the IPL 2025 auction. Let's take a look at the three teams that will be eager to bring the speedster on board. 1. Chennai Super Kings: The five-time IPL champions are the most successful team in the tournament's history with 57.74 win percentage. The Yellow Army under the tutelage of Ruturaj Gaikwad failed to qualify for the playoffs by finishing fifth on the table. For sure, the ambitious team will be hungry to sign the right players in the upcoming auction and Umran Malik is one of the names who will be in CSK's radar. History tells us that CSK can turn raw talent into potential match-winners and the youngster's raw pace is an asset that can be honed to perfection. 2. Mumbai Indians: The Mumbai-based franchise are the second most successful franchise in the tournament's history with 54.40 win percentage. Under Hardik Pandya's captaincy, MI hit the rock-bottom of the points table, managing only four wins and succumbing to ten defeats. The five-time IPL champions have a tradition of investing in raw talent and signing Umran Malik could do a world of good. In addition, the Wankhede pitch that offers good bounce is tailor-made for pacers. Malik's sheer pace could be devastating on such tracks. MI's think-tank will do their best to sign him in the hope that he would exploit home conditions, potentially changing the narrative of the team's journey in IPL 2025. 3. Kolkata Knight Riders: KKR are the third-most successful team in the IPL with three trophies so far. They defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 final to win their third title. The defending champions would definitely want to invest in a young talent like Umran Malik. The Knight Riders' pace attack has been inconsistent in recent seasons and signing the Jammu Express could revamp their bowling unit, which would give them a cutting edge to spice things up in the powerplay and at the death on bouncy and fast pitches.
