‘Galat list me top karliya bhai ne’ – Fans troll Haris Rauf as he concedes more than 500 runs in ODI World Cup 2023

Pakistan, historically renowned for its formidable fast-bowling prowess, is facing a surprising downturn in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, notably in the performance of key speedster Haris Rauf. Despite the country’s reputation for unleashing one of the most dangerous pace attacks, Rauf has struggled to make a significant impact in this tournament.

Having participated in 9 matches, Rauf finds himself in an unfavourable position, becoming the second-highest run-conceding bowler in the competition, trailing behind Sri Lanka’s Dilshan Madhushanka. The concerning statistics reveal that Rauf has given away more than 500 runs, raising eyebrows among cricket fans.

What adds to the concerns is Rauf’s economy rate, currently standing at 6.94, marking one of the worst in the tournament. The economy rate reflects the efficiency of a bowler in restricting the opposition’s scoring, and Rauf’s struggles in this aspect have contributed to Pakistan’s bowling woes.

England put Pakistan to bowl first in Kolkata

Despite securing 14 wickets in the tournament, Rauf’s impact has been overshadowed by the significant runs conceded, and the ongoing match against England in Kolkata on November 11 may further alter these numbers. Pakistan’s disappointing bowling performance serves as a pivotal factor in their precarious position on the brink of elimination from the tournament.

Talking about the Men in Green, their slim chances of reaching the semi-finals hinged on batting first in Kolkata. However, those hopes evaporated when England won the toss and chose to bat. Now, Pakistan is confronted with the daunting challenge of chasing down England’s target which looks almost impossible.
