WATCH: Haris Rauf gets a wicket, then wipes hands virtually and puts on a mask in epic BBL celebration, video goes viral

Pakistan’s Haris Rauf is known for his eccentric celebrations after the penalty kick, and another unique performance in the Melbourne Stars jersey drew attention. The 28-year-old Rauf came up with a “COVID-safe” celebration, gesturing to sanitize his hands and wear a mask after taking Kurtis Patterson’s wicket.

It all happened in Game 3 of the Big Bash League (BBL) match between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars. Raouf threw a pitch that slanted off the stump to lure Patterson into a screen. But the batsman threw the ball to keeper Joe Clark, and Rauf’s hilarious celebration ensued.

After the referee raised his finger, Raouf took out disinfectant from his pocket. The Pakistani seaman then pulled out a mask and put it on, splitting his teammates and even commentators.

Rauf finished 2-for-38 in his four overs, and the Perth Scorchers scored 117 times in their final 10 overs for a 196/3 aggregate run. Nick Hobson had 46 after Patterson left for eight early, while wicketkeeper Laurie Evans had 69 before getting caught on a Raff pass in the 12th. Skipper Ashton Turner followed with a 26-ball 47 to help the Scorchers to a daunting total on the scoreboard. This isn’t the first instance of Rauf’s offering of an unprecedented wicket celebration. He has previously made headlines for throat-smothering celebrations.

Raouf motioned to slit his throat while making an aggressive gesture to the batsman. He came up with the “adaab” celebration after being criticized for being too aggressive in cutting his throat.

Rauf, who was part of Pakistan’s 2021 World Cup T20 team and reached the semi-finals, recently shared a photo of the CSK jersey signed by MS Dhoni from the Chennai Super Kings captain in the news.

Rauf wrote on his official Twitter account: “Legend and captain @msdhoni sent me his shirt with this beautiful gift. 7″ still wins hearts through his kindness and gestures. @ russcsk especially appreciates your kind support.”

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
