Haris Rauf has become a mainstay in T20 cricket not only for Pakistan but for every major franchise across the world. Since making his debut, he has rewritten history books to make himself part of cricketing lore forever.
However, the 31-year-old has only gotten better as time has gone on and has consistently outperformed his peers in terms of wickets, economy rate, and average.
The latest statistics reveal that Haris Rauf has been the best pace bowler in the shortest format of the game for the past five years. He leads the charts with 278 wickets in 206 matches, and his impressive average of 22.35 and an economy rate of 8.49 solidify his claim as one of the top fast bowlers in world cricket.
While other big names like Shaheen Afridi, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Chris Jordan have been impressive, none have matched the consistency of Haris Rauf.
