Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) admin brutally mocked Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf on the official social media handle on Tuesday, June 18.

As public figures, we are open to receiving all kinds of feedback from the public. They are entitled to support us or criticize us. Nevertheless, when it comes to my parents or my family, I will not hesitate to respond accordingly. It is important to show respect towards people and their families, irrespective of their professions," Rauf wrote on Twitter.
