Harif Rauf eagers to lock horns with the best at World T20

• Lahore Qalandars pacer also shared his views about Pakistan-India clash.

Pakistan emerging pace sensation Haris Rauf has set this sight to face the best batsmen in the world at the upcoming World T20 scheduled to take place later this year in Australia.

Rauf, who got famed at the Big Bash T20 League while representing Melbourne Starts in Australia, believes that bowling to quality batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is tough but he is confident he would not let any batsmen dominate him.

The 26-year-old, who made his debut against Bangladesh in January this year, told PakPassion, “This being a World Cup competition, the quality of opposition will be very tough as top players from each country will be playing in it so all batsmen will be difficult to bowl to.”

“But looking at the top T20I players in the world, to be the greatest challenge will come from the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. To do well against such top-quality batsmen will do wonders for my confidence and to be honest, based on my experience in BBL, I should be able to do well in the World Cup if given the chance. It is my nature that I don’t let any batsman dominate me,” he added.

The bowler looks optimistic for prospect of participating in Pakistan-India clash in the tournament.

“It’s a given that any Pakistan versus India game comes with its own special pressure and tension. The pressure is equally high on both sides with supporters of each side wanting to win at all costs,” he said. “For me, any game such as the one between Pakistan and India which has more pressure in it brings out the best in me.”
