Haris Rauf bowled brilliantly during the third ODI between Pakistan and Australia in Perth. Like the last two matches, he once again troubled the Australian batsmen with his pace. He took two wickets in this match. During this time, when he took the first wicket, an amazing sight was seen. After taking the wicket, Rauf did a celebration which reminded Hardik Pandya. He was seen imitating Pandya on the ground in Perth, after which his video is going viral.
Rauf copied Pandya
Australia had scored 65 runs at the loss of 2 wickets in 13 overs. After this, Haris Rauf came to bowl in the 14th. Rauf had given 7 runs on 4 balls of this over. Then he bowled the next ball on short pitch length. Although this ball was bowled at a speed of only 134.8, but on the fast pitch of Perth, Matthew Short was not able to pull properly and was caught at mid-wicket. After this, Haris Rauf celebrated by spreading both his hands and raising his shoulders, as if this was a minor thing for him. Hardik Pandya also celebrated in the same way after dismissing Shadab Khan against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup.
