In an interview the player was asked about his comparison being made with the veteran Pakistani bowler, Waqar Younis and is there something he wants to add about? In response the young and clever, cricketer responded by saying,
“I have not followed Waqar Younis. I have a natural action. My idols include (Jasprit) Bumrah, (Mohammed) Shami and Bhuvneshwar (Kumar) bhai. I used to follow them when I was playing while coming through the ranks,”
He was also asked about how he feels and whether he has plans to win games singlehandedly. In response Umran said,
“Firstly, I am really grateful for all the love and respect that I have been getting from all over India. Relatives and other people keep coming home, it feels very good. I have been a bit busy after the IPL, but have not missed training and practice”
“There’s no point getting carried away. If it is destined to happen, it will Inshallah. I want to do my best for my country. I have got an opportunity in these five (T20I) matches (against South Africa). My goal will be that we win all five matches, I perform well and single-handedly win those games for India”
“There’s no point getting carried away. I want to do my best for my country. I have got an opportunity in these 5 T20I matches vs SA. My goal will be that we win all 5 matches, I perform well & single handedly win those matches for India.” – Umran Malik (To Indian Express)
