South Africa edged past Pakistan by a one-wicket margin to register a thrilling win over the Babar Azam-led side on Friday. Aiden Markram hit a solid 91 but a late batting collapse from South Africa kept Pakistan alive in the game. It was left to the last pair of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi to score the final 11 runs. Shamsi survived a close leg-before appeal that went to the umpire’s call off fast bowler Haris Rauf with eight needed. The incident took place on the final ball of the 46th over.

Shamsi was hit on the front pad on the bowling of Rauf. The ground umpire gave it not out and Pakistan reviewed the decision.

Ball tracking revealed that the ball would have clipped the leg stump, which meant the wicket was on the umpire’s call. Shamsi survived as the field umpire had given him not out.

Talking about the Decision Review System (DRS) after the game, former Pakistan captain Moin Khan made serious allegations. While he blamed the umpire for it, Moin added that the clipping shown by the ball-tracker was wrong.

“It was umpire’s mistake. He (Shamsi) should have been given out. At the point of impact, the leg-stump was visible. It was clearly out, and the umpire should’ve raised his finger. It could’ve gone down for referral then. I feel the clipping was shown wrong. The full ball was hitting the leg-stump,” Moin said on A Sports.

Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq also threw light on the issue by appealing for a change in decision-making.

“Umpire’s call is a big issue that needs to be sorted out. If it shows that it’s out, and the umpire has given it not out, then it should be given out. If you have to stay with umpire’s decision, then what’s the point,” said Misbah.

“Used To Work In The Market Selling Snacks”: Pakistan Star Recalls His Days Of Struggle

Recalling the days of his struggle, ace Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has revealed that he used to sell snacks in the market to pay his education fees. Rauf added that the stuggle continued untill he started playing tape-ball cricket. Rauf, who made his debut for Pakistan in the year 2020, has become a vital cog in the Pakistan’s pace attack. He bowls in excess of 145kmph quite easily and has claimed 53 ODI and 83 T20I wickets for Pakistan so far in his career.

“After matriculation, I used to work in the market selling snacks (nimco) on Sundays to be able to pay my fees. The rest of the week, I will attend school and academy,” Rauf told ESPNcricinfo.

“When I enrolled in university, my father was not earning enough to be able to pay my fees and I couldn’t afford it too but by playing tape-ball cricket I would easily manage my fees.

“”The boys, who play tape-ball professionally in Pakistan, easily make around 2-2.5 lakh per month. I used to earn that and would give it to my mother but I never told my father about earning this much.”

The Pakistan pacer also revealed that there came a point during the days of struggle when he and his family had to sleep in the kitchen due to lack of space.

“My father has three brothers and all lived together. My father had one big room and when my uncles got married, my father gave his room to his brothers. Eventually, we reached the point where we were sleeping in the kitchen,” Rauf said.

Pace bowling adds just another essence to the game of cricket. Anything bowled above 140kmph is considered to be a good pace even in international cricket and the bowlers who can clock such a speed with good line and length are a gem. So is the case with Pakistan’s Haris Rauf. The ace speedster has some serious pace in his bowling as he can easily clock around 150kmph.

Pace bowling adds just another essence to the game of cricket. Anything bowled above 140kmph is considered to be a good pace even in international cricket and the bowlers who can clock such a speed with good line and length are a gem. So is the case with Pakistan’s Haris Rauf. The ace speedster has some serious pace in his bowling as he can easily clock around 150kmph. However, Rauf too has an inspiration to keep himself going. His ideal is not among the Pakistan greats like Shoaib Akhtar or Wasim Akram, it’s rather an ex-Royal Challengers Bangalore and former South Africa bowler Dale Steyn.

While revealing Steyn as his all-time favourite bowler, Rauf added that he also tries to replicate the celebration style of the South African pacer after taking any wicket.

“Mai hamesha follow Dale Steyn ko karta hoon, jab se main usko dekh raha hoon. Uska jo aggression hai vo mujhe kaafi pasand hai. Jis tarah woh wicket le ke aggression show karta hai, kosish karta hoon ki main bhi ground mein us tarah he aggression karu, but mera thoda sa jyada he ho jaata hai. But Dale Steyn mera all the time favourite hai. (I always follow Dale Steyn since the time I am watching him play. I try to replicate his aggression after taking a wicket, but I think I overdo it a bit. But Dale Steyn is my favourite bowler of all time),” said Rauf in a video uploaded by ICC.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday announced the squad for the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 and Rauf found a place for himself in the team.

While most of the top names were there, there were a couple of surprises in the squad selected by the PCB.

Fast bowler Naseem Shah who suffered an injury during the recently concluded Asia Cup was not included in Pakistan’s Cricket World Cup squad. But veteran pacer Hasan Ali has made a comeback into the Cricket World Cup squad.

Babar Azam will lead the Pakistan cricket team at the Cricket World Cup while Shadab Khan will be his deputy.
