Notice how @simadwasim got better after he stopped copying #cr7 keep up d great bowling #harisrauf #BBL2019," one fan pointed out."Haris Rauf is spectacular but he should change his celebration style.

Someone needs to guide this young lad. #TeamGreen #BBL #harisrauf #bigbash #celebration #BBL09," another fan tweeted."#BBL09 I definitely think C.A. or the Stars might have a word with Haris Rauf about his wicket celebration at some point," a user said.The pacer Rauf has managed to take ten wickets from three matches in the ongoing BBL.Earlier today, Melbourne Stars defeated Sydney Thunder by three wickets to move to the top of the table in BBL.
