Pakistan spinner Shadab Khan said fast bowler Haris Rauf has “electric pace” as he is capable of bowling at speeds over 150 kph.
Rauf has been brilliant for the men in green in limited overs cricket over the past couple of months as he has taken plenty of wickets.
During the tour of Australia, he claimed 10 wickets in three ODIs, which included a five-for, at an average of 12.
He then proceeded to pick up five wickets in three T20Is at an average of 15.40.
Pakistan then travelled to Zimbabwe and Rauf began by taking three wickets in three ODIs at an average of 32.
In the T20I series, he ended up with three wickets in two games at an average of 10.
Unfortunately, the 31-year-old didn’t have the same level of success during the ongoing tour of South Africa as he went wicketless in both the ODI and T20I series.
Nonetheless, Shadab still praised Rauf for his outstanding performances as of late.
“Electric pace,” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Pakistan and South Africa are now involved in a two-Test series, which the Proteas lead 1-0 after winning the 1st Test in Centurion by two wickets.
The 2nd Test started on January 3 in Cape Town.
