Haris Rauf is currently busy playing in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL). He is representing the Lahore Qalandars along with his teammate, Shaheen Shah Afridi. On 26 February 2023, his team took on Peshawar Zalmi in Lahore. From that match, a video has now gone viral where Rauf was seen making a wish to take the wickets of Babar Azam and Virat Kohli.
Haris Rauf had a great chance to take the former team India captain’s wicket when Pakistan locked horns with India during the 20-20 World Cup 2022. But, Virat Kohli came up with a scintillating knock to ensure team India’s victory. In a crunch situation, Kohli hit Rauf for two consecutive sixes and changed the momentum of the game in the favor of the Men in Blue.
Haris Rauf has taken three wickets so far in four matches in the ongoing PSL
Fans went crazy after seeing such an effort from Kohli, especially with those two sixes against Rauf. While talking about the matter on the show 'Hasna Mana Hai’, the Pakistan pacer said: "Anyone who knows cricket knows what sort of a player he is. He has played that shot now; I don't think he can do that again. Such shots are quite rare, you can't hit them again and again. His timing was perfect and it went for a six." In that match, Virat Kohli scored 82* runs off 53 balls, including six fours and four sixes.
While Haris Rauf took two wickets for 36 runs in four overs. Speaking of the video, Rauf was seen saying to Babar that he wants to take the wickets of both him and Virat Kohli. He also claimed that there are three or four batters in his mind whose wickets Rauf wants to take. In reply to that, the Pakistan skipper said that he has already got his wickets several times in net sessions. But, Rauf insisted that he wants to take the wickets in the match only. But, fans found the funny angle in the video and shared their views on the social media platform.
Here is the shared video:
