Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf slaps teammate Kamran Ghulam for dropping a catch during PSL match - WATCH

Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf lost his cool a bit and was spotted slapping his teammate Kamran Ghulam during his team Lahore Qalandars' clash against Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 on Monday (February 21). Emotions run high among players during matches and they often tend to lose their cool.

A similar episode was witnessed in the ongoing PSL 2022 on Tuesday. The incident took place during the second over of Peshawar Zalmi's innings when Rauf managed to dismiss opener Mohammad Haris on 6 off 5 balls. While celebrating with his teammates, Rauf was seen slapping Ghulam.

Rauf ended up slapping his teammate to remind him of the catch he had dropped earlier in the innings. Ghulam had dropped the catch of Zalmi opener  Hazratullah Zazai. Rauf finally managed to get a wicket in the same over after Zazai's opening partner Haris was caught by Fawad Ahmed.

The footage of Rauf slapping Ghulam instantly went viral on social media and became the talking point on social media. However, despite being slapped by Rauf, Ghulam was seen in good spirits and continued to celebrate with the rest of his teammates after Haris' dismissal.
