“I am not in a race with my teammates to become the best bowler”, says Haris Rauf

Lahore Qalandar’s fast bowler Haris Rauf said that he was not in a “race” with his teammate Shaheen Shah Afridi to become the finest bowler in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL).

While talking to the media he said that, whoever takes the most wickets this season, the ultimate beneficiary would be Lahore Qalandars.

Rauf added in his statement that,

“I am not competing against Shaheen Afridi in the race for most wickets. I was happy when he took more wickets than me last season to become the leading wicket-taker in PSL,”

Shaheen was the highest wicket-taker in the previous season of the PSL, Haris ended last year as the highest wicket-taker in the Twenty20 format.

The fast bowler further said that,

“My target in PSL 6 is simple and that is to give my best, take as many wickets as possible and make my team win the Pakistan Super League.”

Haris Rauf also talked about the last year’s final match played against Karachi Kings.

“We played the final last year but unfortunately lost to Karachi Kings. It was disappointing but we are back now and will continue with the momentum that we had. Most of the players are the same that were with us last year, they’re in good forms as well, which is a promising sign for our team. This time, we will try our best to win the tournament,”

“This time, the PDP players are also very good, so the team looks in good shape and we will do well,” he added.
