Haris Rauf slapped Kamran Ghulam for dropping a catch during an important match against Peshawar Zalmi. However, he made up for it with a hug when Kamran dismissed Wahab Riaz with a direct hit.
Pakistani cricketer Haris Rauf has found himself in hot water after he slapped Lahore Qalandars teammate Kamran Ghulam during a Pakistan Super League match. Rauf slapped Kamran for dropping a catch during an important match against Peshawar Zalmi. However, he made up for it with a hug when Kamran dismissed Wahab Riaz with a direct hit.
Kamran Ghulam had dropped the catch of Hazratullah Zazai off Haris Rauf's bowling. When he and other teammates approached Rauf to congratulate him after he dismissed Mohammad Haris in the same over, the pacer apparently slapped him.
The incident which took place during the match was caught on camera and the video has gone crazy viral on social media. PSL’s Twitter account also shared the video.

While there were some users who spoke in favour of Haris Rauf, others disapproved of this behaviour on field. Cricket is a gentleman’s game and this isn’t the kind of behaviour fans expected to see on the field. “What nonsense!! That hug doesn't compensate for what he did, he should be heavily penalised, unacceptable behaviour at this level (sic),” a user wrote. “Come on. He dropped his easy catch. It was just a reprimand (sic),” another user wrote.
