Haris Rauf loses his cool
In a recent and shocking incident, Pakistan speedster Haris Rauf was involved in an ugly altercation with a fan in the USA. The incident, which has quickly gone viral on social media, occurred while Rauf was taking a leisurely stroll around the city with his wife. According to the video footage, a comment from the fan appeared to have triggered the pacer’s anger.
The video shows Rauf running towards the man in an aggressive manner, seemingly ready to attack, before being restrained by bystanders. Even his wife’s attempts to calm him down were unsuccওessful as the 30-year-old cricketer seemed determined to engage in a physical confrontation.
