In a standout moment during the Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf, representing the Melbourne Stars, created a distinctive scene in their encounter against Sydney Thunder at Lavington Sports Oval in Albury on Saturday.
As Haris Rauf walked in to bat at No. 11 with just one ball remaining in the innings, he initially opted not to wear pads, gloves, or a helmet while positioned at the non-striker’s end, likely due to the limited time left in the game.
However, the on-field umpires stepped in, prioritizing his safety, and insisted that Rauf put on his gloves and helmet. Despite complying with this, he chose not to wear his pads, prompting a commentator to express astonishment and describe the situation as a ‘circus’ during the live broadcast.
Haris Rauf, while at the crease, notably refrained from wearing both of his gloves. His unconventional approach left Daniel Sams, who had played a pivotal role with two wickets and a run-out, puzzled on the field.
