A fan who had allegedly insulted Rauf’s family was seen on tape arguing with him during Pakistan’s 2024 T20 World Cup group stage exit.
After a video of pacer Haris Rauf getting into a furious argument with a fan went viral, many Pakistani cricket players rushed to his aid. Following Pakistan’s 2024 T20 World Cup group stage elimination, a fan was seen on camera arguing with Haris Rauf after the player’s family was allegedly insulted. Ahmed Shehzad, Hasan Ali, Shadab Khan, and Muhammad Rizwan, among other colleagues of Rauf, used social media to criticize the fan base’s actions.
Let us maintain a courteous and compassionate discourse towards the families of the players. Hasan Ali, a teammate, tweeted, “Let’s spread love, peace, and respect for the GAME.”
Shadab Khan criticized the fans’ treatment of the cricket players with more vigor in his remarks.
Attacking someone personally in front of their family is not appropriate. If you were attacked personally while with relatives, how would you feel? Shadab was posted on X.
