Lahore Qalandars pacer, Haris Rauf, recently cleared the air about an on-field incident that took place during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight match against Islamabad United. After Rauf dismissed United captain Shadab Khan during the run-chase, Shadab appeared displeased with Rauf’s send-off, which did not seem to be well-received by Shadab, who did not even smile, despite their friendship.
During the post-match press conference, Rauf explained that the incident was merely a fun moment between friends. He revealed that he and Shadab have known each other for a long time and have played a lot of cricket together, which made it clear that there was no ill intent on his part. However, the incident has caused a stir on social media, with some Twitter users reacting strongly to Rauf’s actions.
Despite the off-field drama, Lahore Qalandars convincingly defeated Islamabad United by 110 runs during the match, securing a top spot on the points table. Rauf’s performance during the match was noteworthy, as he took one wicket, conceding only 15 runs in his two overs.
Despite the occasional on-field incident, the PSL season eight has been a great success so far, providing high-quality cricket and entertainment to fans around the world. The tournament has brought together some of the best T20 players from around the world, making it a truly international event.
