In the 30th match of the Pakistan super league between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi, an ugly incident took place where Lahore Qalandars bowler Haris Rauf slapped Kamran Ghulam on the field for dropping a catch of Peshawar Zalmi’s Hazratullah Zazai at Gaddafi Stadium.
This incident happened in the 2nd over of the innings where Haris Rauf bowled a full ball, which Zazai tried to work away on the leg side. But Ghulam dropped the catch. In the same over’s fifth ball, Rauf got the wicket of Mohammad Haris (6), courtesy of Fawad Ahmed’s catch.
After the wicket, when the team gathered to celebrate the catch, Rauf slapped Ghulam, who looked a bit surprised and disgusting on the telecast platform.
2nd ball of the over
Haris Rauf to Hazratullah Zazai, 1 run, terrible drop by Ghulam at the point. The batter wanted to flay that away and got a thick leading edge. The ball is spooned up and the man at point despite positioning himself under it, drops it. Drops a dolly
5th ball of the over, Haris Rauf slapped Kamran Ghulam
Haris Rauf to Mohammad Haris, out Caught by Fawad Ahmed!! Top-edge on the pull and has been taken by the man at fine leg. That was banged in short, the batter was a little late on the pull and got the fat top-edge on it. Peshawar loses their first wicket. Haris Rauf is a happy man and is jubilant about the scalp.
