Watch: 'Melbourne abhi bhi yaad aata hai? Virat Kohli ke 2 chakke' – Haris Rauf brutally taunted by a fan

Haris Rauf, the Pakistani fast bowler, was mocked by a fan during the ongoing Men’s Hundred tournament. The fan referenced ace Indian batter Virat Kohli hitting two sixes against Rauf during their T20 World Cup 2022 group stage match, and the video has spread across social media platforms on the internet.

Haris Rauf is currently representing Welsh Fire during the Men’s Hundred 2024. The right-arm pacer delivered an impressive performance during the recent match against London Spirit. Rauf took three wickets for 20 runs from 17 balls. However, his team failed to secure victory while defending 94 runs.

"Melbourne abhi bhi yaad aata hai? Virat ke 2 chakke (Do you still remember Melbourne? Virat's two sixes)," a random fan said.
