Xtra Time Web Desk: A video clip featuring Pakistan's fast bowler, Haris Rauf, has gone viral on social media, showing the cricketer nearly getting into a physical altercation with several fans in the USA. The incident was captured on X (formerly known as Twitter) just days after Pakistan's heartbreaking exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup, where they faced defeats against co-hosts, the USA, and arch-rivals India.

In this video, Haris Rauf is seen walking with his wife when a group of fans approached him, requesting a selfie. Although the conversation's details are unclear, Haris appeared visibly agitated and moved towards the fans aggressively. His wife attempted to calm him down, but the situation escalated as Haris removed his slippers and charged at the fans, nearly resulting in a fight before one of the fans intervened.

Amid the commotion, an upset fan could be heard saying, "Ek picture maangi hai bas (All I wanted was one picture with you)." In response, Haris, who was restrained by another fan, accused, "Indian hoga yeh (He must be an Indian)," to which the fan replied, "I'm from Pakistan."
