One of the most dominant bowlers in the Pakistan cricket team at the moment, Haris Rauf, is a weapon that opponents have no idea how to contend with. He is also a top performer with the ball and, at this stage, had taken 67 wickets in 50 T20 Internationals, proving to be immensely effective with his pace and aggression on the field.

It led to concerns about how fans treat athletes. This incident led to a lot of former cricketers and sports analysts giving their views on the same. Former Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram opined in an interview, “Athletes are human too. They undergo an intense amount of pressure on and off the field. Fans need a little more respect and control.
However, a few other news organizations took him to task for what Rauf said. A leading sports magazine in an editorial said that “the fans might need to act like they have been there before, but the players should act like it wasn’t a big deal at all.” Regardless of how much they were provoked, there is no justification for Haris Rauf’s actions, and it should be set as an example.

The video continues to circulate, so it is unclear how this will play out for Haris Rauf’s prospects and place in the public eye. For now, it remains a stark demonstration of the high-wire act all athletes – perhaps now more than ever – must perform as they navigate the worlds of public and private.
