News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket is not called the game of uncertainties. No one knows when it happens here. Something similar was seen in an exciting T20 match between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where Pakistan’s stormy fast bowler Haris Rauf surprised everyone with his batting, not with his bowling. He made such records with the bat, which even big batsmen could not make. But see luck, despite this amazing, Pakistan lost this match by 18 runs.
When the number 11 batsman rescued the sixes of Afghan bowlers
The match was being played under the tri -series in Sharjah. Afghanistan, batting first, scored a challenging score of 178 runs. In response, Pakistan’s batting stumbled. When Haris Rauf came to bat at number 11, Pakistan needed 55 runs in 24 balls to win, which seemed almost impossible.
But Rauf did not give up. He retaliated on the Afghan bowlers that everyone kept watching. He scored 26 runs off just 13 balls, including 2 fours and 2 skyscraper sixes.
Which batting records broke Haris Rauf?
During his small but stormy innings, Haris Rauf made several records as number 11 in T20 International cricket:
- The biggest score: Batting at number 11 in T20I, making 26 runs is the second highest personal score so far.
- Most sixes: He has become the first player in the world to hit 2 sixes in an innings as number 11 batsman.
- Best Strike Rate: In an innings of T20I (facing at least 10 balls) batting at number 11, the strike rate of 200.00 is the best performance ever.
Hero with bat, but team became zero
Haris Rauf had almost overturned the match with his beauty batting. But in the last over, Rashid Khan dismissed him and destroyed Pakistan’s expectations. Pakistan’s entire team was all out for 160 runs.
Even though Haris Rauf could not win his team, cricket fans will always remember what he showed with his batting ability as a bowler. This was one of the rare occasions when a bowler put a record of records with the bat.
