The arch rivals India and Pakistan whenever they enter the cricket field against each other. The ambiance in the cricket stadium awes people as the cricket fans of the two countries madly cheer for their teams and players. Though cricket fans witness heat and arguments on the cricket fields, the warm and friendly relations these players share off the cricket field are something that keeps the cricket spirit alive among the nations. Even fans equally appreciate the neighbouring country players. In fact, it is evident from the warm reception Pakistan’s team received from the Indian fans when they arrived in India for the World Cup 2023, which is about to begin.
What Has Haris Rauf Said About Virat Kohli?
Pakistan’s speedster Haris Rauf, whenever he gets the chance to discuss India’s former captain Virat Kohli, always praises the Indian batter for his batting skills. In ESPNcricinfo’s documentary “The Incredible Rise of Haris Rauf,” reflecting back to the days when he was the net bowler of the Indian team and bowled Virat Kohli, he shared what he observed unique about Virat Kohli in the nets by saying:
“When I was a net bowler for the Indian team and was bowling to Virat Kohli, I felt like he knew exactly where the ball was going to hit his bat. He was very focussed and that showed how sharp his concentration was”
Haris Rauf
Even during practice sessions in the nets, it felt like I was playing a match against him, despite being a net bowler. His remarkable control and intensity made me realise why he has such a reputation in the game
He added
Rauf also revealed the bowler he idolizes and named the former South African bowling ace Dale Steyn, whom he used to watch for the aggression he brought to the field while bowling. That’s why Haris also tries to be aggressive on the field.
