Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has found himself in the middle of a storm after his controversial reaction to Indian fans during the ongoing Asia Cup clash. While fielding on the boundary, Rauf was constantly teased with chants of “Kohli, Kohli.” Instead of ignoring them, he reacted in a manner that many believe alluded to the Indian Armed Forces’ Operation Sindoor.
The incident has drawn widespread criticism, especially since just days earlier, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi had publicly stated that “cricket and politics should not be mingled.” With Rauf’s gesture blurring that very line, all eyes are now on the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Will PCB take disciplinary action against their star fast bowler, or will the matter be downplayed? The coming days will reveal whether Naqvi and the PCB are consistent with their own stance on keeping politics out of cricket.
