\nIndian pace ace Umran Malik in a recent interview has said that despite being compared to Akhtar all the time, he doesn\u2019t think about breaking his record of bowling the fastest delivery.
\n\u201cI\u2019m only thinking about performing well for the country,\u201d Umran told India\u2019s News 24 Thursday, adding that \u201cIf I do well and if I\u2019m lucky, I\u2019ll break that, but I don\u2019t think about it at all.\u201d
\n\u201cYou don\u2019t get to realize how fast you\u2019ve bowled during the match,\u201d Malik said. \u201cIt\u2019s only when we come back after the game we realize our pace.\u201d
\nAkhtar holds the record for the fastest delivery bowled in international cricket (161kph) against New Zealand in 2002. Last year, the Rawalpindi Express said he will be happy if the Indian pacer ends up breaking his record. \u201cI want to see him have a long career,\u201d Akhtar had said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
