After a video of Haris Rauf's confrontation with a fan goes viral, he issues a Stern response
The first bowler of the Pakistan cricket team, Haris Rauf, has addressed a social media video that is going viral showing a verbal confrontation with a fan after the Twenty20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies. Earlier today, the video went viral, and it shows Rauf fuming and asking the fan why he hurled abuse at his father, which likely sparked the argument.
The pacer later took to social media to address the incident: Rauf wrote on X, “I decided not to bring this on social media, but now that the video is out, I feel it is necessary to address the situation. As public figures, we are open to receiving all kinds of feedback from the public. They are entitled to support us or criticize us. Nevertheless, when it comes to my parents or my family, I will not hesitate to respond accordingly. It is important to show respect towards people and their families, irrespective of their professions.”
During the 2024 T20 World Cup, Rauf took seven wickets in four matches for Pakistan. He was the joint-leading wicket-taker for Pakistan alongside Mohammad Amir. Rauf collected seven wickets at an economy rate of 6.73, including a 3-21 performance in the crucial match against India in New York.
