Umar Gul was one of the quickest bowlers of Pakistan to have played the T20I format. He enjoyed tremendous success in the shortest format as he picked up his career-best figures of 5/6 twice in his career.

Gul first achieved these figures on 13th June 2009 in a WT20 match against New Zealand. The pacer ripped apart the NZ batting order as they were skittled out for meager 99 inside 19 overs. Gul dismissed Scott Styris, McGlashan, Nathan McCullum, James Franklin, and Kyle Mills to complete his first 5-wicket haul.

The second occasion where Gul picked up 5/6 in a T20I match came in 2013 when Pakistan played South Africa in a T20I match at Centurion. The speedster picked up the wickets of F du Plessis, Chris Morris, J Ontong, Farhaan Behardien, and Kyle Abbott to send the home side packing.
