Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf saw a fan troll him by reminding him about the Virat Kohli hit off his bowling in the 2022 edition of the T20 World Cup. The incident has been making the rounds of the internet and was from the recently concluded Major League Cricket in the USA. Playing for San Francisco Unicorns, Rauf picked up four wickets in nine games.
Coming back to the 2022 T20 World Cup, India and Pakistan had a thrilling matchup that went right down to the wire and saw Virat Kohli play one of the greatest knocks in T20I history. In this brilliant performance, Kohli hit two sixes against Rauf in the penultimate over the chase out which one has been deemed as the shot of the century.
"Melbourne abhi yaad aata hai..." - Fan trolls Haris Rauf; asks if he remembers "Virat ke 2 chakke"
Reminding the Pakistani star of this moment, a fan called out at Haris Rauf as he was fielding at the boundary line. The fan was heard saying, "Melbourne abhi bhi yaad aata hai? Virat ke 2 chakke" (Do you remember Melbourne, Virat's 2 sixes). Responding to this, an annoyed Rauf just nodded his head and said yes.
Speaking about those sixes, Haris Rauf complimented Virat Kohli and described him as the only batter who can hit those shots. Rauf said, "The way he [Kohli] played in the World Cup, that is his class, we all know the types of shots he plays. And the way he hit those sixes, I don't think any other player can hit a shot like that off my bowling. If Dinesh Karthik aur Hardik Pandya would've hit those sixes, I would've been hurting but those came off Kohli's bat and he is a different class altogether."
