PSL 2023: Haris Rauf clarifies send-off of Shadab Khan amid criticism

Haris Rauf clarifies the send-off of Shadab Khan amid criticism.
Shadab didn’t look overjoyed with Rauf’s send-off.
Rauf said, “It was a fun moment and these things happen between friends.

The on-field altercation between pacer Haris Rauf and skipper Shadab Khan of Islamabad United on Monday during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight-game has been resolved.

Shadab didn’t look overjoyed with Rauf’s send-off after being dropped during the run-chase.

During the post-game press conference, Rauf said, “It was a fun moment and these things happen between friends.

We’ve been friends for a very long time, and we’ve played a lot of cricket together, he continued.

It should be mentioned that Qalandars defeated United by 110 runs during the game to claim the top spot in the standings.

Here is the response on Twitter:

Haris’ behavior was irritating! https://t.co/OogVF1PXpZ

Shadab clearly looking upset here but he is a good friend of Haris so he knows better how to deal with him. But if this thing was done by some non-favorite player hamari awaam ne pagal hojaana tha aur professionalism ke bare bare lectures dene the. Double standards… https://t.co/4ayVCixRJ7

Choosing to bat first, Lahore set a lofty target of 201 runs before dismissing Islamabad for 90 runs in 13.5 overs, largely due to the outstanding bowling of David Wiese and a stunning innings by Abdullah Shafique (46 runs in 24 balls) (3-17).

On March 19, the final and closing ceremony will take place in Lahore, which will also serve as the site of the playoffs.

In addition to receiving the Supernova Trophy, the victor will also receive a check for Rs120 million, while the losers will each receive a check for Rs48 million.
