Umar, also spelled Omar (Arabic: عمر بن الخطاب, translit. ʿUmar ibn Al-Khattāb, Umar Son of Al-Khattab, born c.583 CE – died 3 November 644 CE), was one of the most powerful and influential Muslim caliphs in history. He was a senior Sahaba of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He succeeded Abu Bakr (632–634) as the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate on 23 August 634. He was an expert Islamic jurist known for his pious and just nature, which earned him the epithet Al-Farooq ("the one who distinguishes between right and wrong"). He is sometimes referred to as Umar I by historians of Islam, since a later Umayyad caliph, Umar II, also bore that name. According to Sunnis, Umar is the second greatest of the Sahaba after Abu Bakr.
Under Umar, the caliphate expanded at an unprecedented rate, ruling the Sasanian Empire and more than two-thirds of the Byzantine Empire. His attacks against the Sasanian Empire resulted in the conquest of Persia in fewer than two years (642–644). According to Jewish tradition, Umar set aside the Christian ban on Jews and allowed them into Jerusalem and to worship.
Umar Gul (Urdu: عمرگل, Pashto: عمرګل) (born 14 April 1984) is a Pakistani cricketer from Peshawar, Pakistan. He is a right arm fast medium bowler who has played Test matches, One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals for the Pakistani cricket team. He has gained fame as one of the most successful bowlers in Twenty20 cricket finishing as the leading wicket taker and bowler in both the 2007 and 2009 Twenty20 World Championship tournaments. Umar Gul is the second most highest wicket taker (74) in Twenty20 International cricket, only behind Saeed Ajmal. He won the Twenty20 International Performance of the Year 2013.
Gul was born on April 14 1984 in Peshawar, Pakistan in a middle-class family and frequently played tape-ball cricket. He was encouraged by his friends to become an international cricketer as they saw his excellent bowling.
Gul was first called up for the team in April 2003, playing four one-day matches at the Cherry Blossom Sharjah Cup against Zimbabwe, Kenya and Sri Lanka, where he took four wickets, and he was in and out of the one-day team after that tournament. However, he played the whole of the 2003–04 home series against Bangladesh, making his Test debut and taking 15 wickets in the three Tests, and took the second-most wickets of any Pakistani bowler in the series, behind Shabbir Ahmed with 17. However, Shoaib Akhtar, who took 13 in third place, only played two of the Tests.
he least-hyped but most successful and assured Pakistan pace product of the last few years, Umar Gul is the latest in Pakistan's assembly-line of pace-bowling talent. He had played just nine first-class matches when called up for national duty in the wake of Pakistan's poor 2003 World Cup. On the flat tracks of Sharjah, Gul performed admirably, maintaining excellent discipline and getting appreciable outswing with the new ball. He isn't express but bowls a very quick heavy ball and his exceptional control and ability to extract seam movement marks him out. Further, his height enables him to extract bounce on most surfaces and from his natural back of a length, it is a useful trait.
Umar Gul produced a sensational career-best spell of 6 for 42 in ten full-length and late-swinging overs

Every Pakistani cricket fan would remember the come back t20 game of Umar Gul in South Africa in which he demolished the strong batting line of the proteas and helped Pakistan win a memorable match against the hosts. Umar Gul recovered from an injury and was playing his first game but he looked in complete rhythm which was the results of his hard work and practice. He was given the new ball and he straight away struck with it, taking the South African captain out of the equation. Faf tried to play a drive on the off side edged the ball and Kamran Akmal could not resist in fumbling the ball twice before finagling grabbing it for good. Moris came in as the new man and he went first ball. He tried to hit Gull on the off side just to ease out the pressure but the extra bounce on the ball hi...
