Cricket News: Haris Rauf of Pakistan has become one of the top white-ball bowlers in the past 12 months, frequently drawing attention with his furious pace. Haris, who is perhaps Pakistan’s best bowler in the game’s shortest format, recounted his humble beginnings when Ravi Shastri, a former Indian head coach, requested him to join the Indian team as a net bowler for their 2018–19 tour of Australia.
After a wildly successful run with the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, Haris Rauf began to gain notoriety. He, at last, received the respect he deserved and was selected by India, captained by Ravi Shastri, to play net bowling. During his stay in the Indian camp, he faced up against players like KL Rahul and Virat Kohli with his bowling.
The Pakistani captain confessed to Crickwick in a recent interview how the former Indian coach constantly reminds him of his accomplishments whenever they cross paths. He said that Virat Kohli, a world-class batsman, recognises his ascent in the international sphere.
“Wo kehte hai’yaar ek net bowler jaise tum hamare paas aye they, Aksar unse (Ravi Shastri) se mulakat hoti hai… And the rest is history; bowling is the name of the game now. When you say “hum tumko dekhte,” you mean “hume kafi khushi milti.” Virat bhai bhi kafi appreciate karte hai ki ek time tum net bowler bhi they, to unhe sara pata hai. (Whenever Shastri and I get together, he ) tells me how I used to be a net bowler and how you now have such popularity. Therefore, he is aware of my origins. Even Kohli recognises my accomplishments,” he told Crickwick.
Haris Rauf is selected for his first Test against England
Following his outstanding performances in white-ball cricket over the past few years, the Pakistani fast-bowling wonder has finally received his first Test call-up for the Test series against England. In place of the injured Shaheen Afridi, he is directing the lines for his team during the first Test match in Rawalpindi.
