Pakistan cricket team’s fast bowler Haris Rauf has recalled how he was once a net bowler and received advice from Indian cricketers that helped him become a successful player. Rauf is one of the top pacers in the Pakistan cricket team right now. He has the ability to trouble the opposition batters with his express pace bowling.
Many members of the cricket universe would remember that Harif Rauf played for the Pakistan cricket team in the ICC T20 World Cup last year. His bowling performances played an integral role in the Pakistan cricket team’s success at the mega event. In a recent chat with Paktv.tv, Haris stated that he was a net bowler for the Indian cricket team during their tour of Australia in the 2018-19 season.
At that time, Rauf told the Indian players that one day he would play against them. KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya gave him a lot of confidence by saying that he has got what it takes to succeed. Here’s what Rauf had to say:
“When I was a net bowler for India, I had bowled to them in Sydney in the nets. So I had told them once that I would one day bowl to them in an international game. And both Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul had told me that I have the potential to bowl at an international level. They gave me a lot of confidence.”
KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya remembered their conversation with Haris Rauf
KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya and Haris Rauf participated in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 and went head-to-head in the India vs. Pakistan match. At that time, Pandya and Rahul told Rauf that they remembered all the conversations they had when he was a net bowler for Team India in 2019.
Rauf concluded by saying that when a player plays with other good players, he must learn good qualities from them.
