A shocking incident involving Pakistan's star seamer Haris Rauf jolted the internet on Tuesday, June 18, after a video of Rauf engaging in an ugly street fight with a fan went viral on social media platforms.
In the video, which has now spread like wildfire on the internet, Haris Rauf can be seen walking with his wife on the streets when he got irked by something said by a fan. Soon, Rauf lost his temper and ran angrily to confront the Pakistani fan. Fortunately, the crowd present at that moment separated Haris and the fan in what could have turned into a physical brawl.

The audio isn't very clear in the video, but it is understood that the Pakistani seamer was angered over something said about his father, while the fan can be heard saying that he only asked for a picture.
However, Rauf stated, "Tere Baap ne ye parvarish ki hai teri (Is this the upbringing done by your father?)". Further, Rauf assumed the fan to be Indian, but it turned out that the person was from Pakistan.
Pakistan cricket has hit a new low as they suffered an early exit from the T20 World Cup following defeats against India and the USA. Rauf also went for runs in the tournament, but he completed 100 T20I wickets and became the fastest Pakistani bowler to reach the feat.
This incident highlights the growing frustration within the Pakistan cricket team and its fans following a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign. Haris Rauf, who has been a key player for Pakistan, faced criticism for his performance, adding to the team's woes.
