‘This is circus’, Haris Rauf walks out to bat without pads in BBL match

Haris Rauf has become quite popular in the Big Bash League (BBL). Playing for Melbourne Stars, Haris Rauf has become the fans favourite. In a hilarious incident on Saturday (December 23), Rauf did not even wear helmet, gloves, or pads initially. The reason behind his decision was there was only one ball left in the innings and Rauf was at the non-strikers’ end.

No gloves, pads or helmet on

This is circus: Commentator on Rauf’s act

The on-field umpires did not allow him to do that, and thus, Haris Rauf had to take gloves and helmet to stay there for safety. Still, he did not take his pads, leaving a commentator to remark ‘this is circus’ on air.

Rauf did not even wear both his gloves, whereas Daniel Sams, who took two wickets and inflicted a run-out before bowling his final ball, left completely stunned in the middle.
