Veteran Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi heaped massive praises on Haris Rauf after the right-arm pacer dismissed him with a toe-crushing yorker during the Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars Eliminator 2 clash in Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020. Needing 67 runs from 38 balls, Afridi came out to bat at number seven for Sultans. However, he bagged a golden duck with Rauf rattling his stumps with a peach of a delivery.
