2022 T20 World Cup: Haris Rauf, a Pakistani bowler, claimed that Virat Kohli’s straight six off his length delivery left him stunned and that the incident is still hurting him. The incident took place at the MCG during the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan.
With 28 needed off eight deliveries for India in the penultimate over of the match, Pakistan appeared to be in control. But Kohli’s exquisite six off a Rauf ball changed the tide in the Men in Blue’s favour.
I believed something had gone wrong: Haris Rauf
“Naturally, it was painful when that resulted in a six. I remained silent, but it personally pained me. I believed that something was awry,” Speaking on the Pakistani programme ‘Hasna Mana Hai,’ Haris said.
“Anyone who is familiar with cricket is aware of the type of player he is. I don’t think he can make that shot again as he has already played it. Such shots are exceedingly uncommon, and you can’t keep missing them. He timed it just right and it went for a six,” He Added.
While Rauf was able to silence Virat Kohli during the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 match, it was the legendary batsman who emerged victorious at the crucial moment.
India was in trouble at 31/4 while chasing 160, and that’s when Kohli and Hardik Pandya performed the heroics with a 113-run stand for the fifth wicket. Even though Pandya got out in the very last over, Kohli remained undefeated with 82 runs off 53 deliveries despite Pandya’s dismissal. In the end, Ravichandran Ashwin lofted Mohammad Nawaz over mid-off to score the winning runs off the last ball.
