Tempers ran high in the Big Bash League match 39 of the season, as the visiting Melbourne Stars' bowling attack led by Haris Rauf looked to defend an underwhelming 130 agains Perth Scorchers a battle to claim the top spot on the points table.

In the evening of January 17, as Rauf bowled with his tails up, looking to run over the Scorchers line-up, he got rid of the dangerous Josh Inglis to give his team an outside chance to win the fixture. After dismissing the Australia international, he notably pulled out a new and unique celebration to send off the batter and send a message to the opposition dressing room in the middle of a fiery spell.

The incident happened right at the end of the the four-over mark, after Scorchers only managed a 26-run powerplay. Having picked the key wickets of Mitchell Marsh and Cooper Connolly in his first over, the Pakistan seamer steamed in with a length ball directed outside off stump to Inglis, who tried to pull the delivery but the top-edge went straight to the wicketkeeper Sam Harper, who grabbed a regulation catch.

With this wicket, Scorchers were reduced to 26/3 in just 4.1 overs, all three wickets going to the Pakistan international. Following the wicket, Haris was seen sending the batter back to the pavilion after going on a run with his arms out open. In his unique fashion, he showed Inglis the direction towards the dressing room after his torrid 1 off 9.

Notably, despite pushing the Scorchers back to the wall, the Stars could not capitalize on the start with the ball as the New Zealand batter Finn Allen got 69 off 39 with 2 fours and 7 towering sixes and stitched a 94-run partnership with Aaron Hardie to put his team in a winning position of 120/4 at the time of writing. The Perth-based side only needs 11 runs in 29 balls to clinch the match.

Haris Rauf's statement BBL season

After questions regarding his place in Pakistan's T20I side for the World Cup, considering his high economy rates and lack of wickets in recent years, with 10 matches played, Rauf has picked up 18 wickets in 10 matches of this BBL season for Stars at an economy rate of 7.96, with best figures of 3/23 coming in the ongoing game.

Courtesy of his 3/23 vs PS, he is currently the joint-leading wicket-taker of BBL 2025/26 alongside Gurinder Sandhu as the teams approach the business end of the tournament.

While he was not a part of the Pakistan T20I squad in the recently concluded three-match series in Sri Lanka, this promising season Down Under has put him ahead of the most bowlers in contention for the spot in the T20 World Cup squad, which is yet to be announced.

His experience of previously featuring in multiple T20 World Cups and the 2023 fifty over World Cup could come in handy for the Pakistan side, which in on a quest for their second T20 World Cup after winning one in 2009.
