Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has been ‘honored’ after receiving a signed jersey from former Indian captain MS Dhoni. The speedster took to Twitter on Friday and expressed his glee after receiving the gift. Notably, Rauf received Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) jersey which had the autograph of the CSK skipper. The fast bowler also thanked CSK team manager Russell Radhakrishnan for his gesture.
Meanwhile, Haris Rauf, who made his international debut in 2020, has made a name for himself. Owing to his ferocious pace, Rauf didn’t take long in becoming a vital cog of Pakistan’s limited-overs team. He also was instrumental in taking Pakistan to the semi-finals of the 2021 T20 World Cup.

While MS Dhoni failed to do much with the bat, the 40-year-old’s précised strategies and tactics helped CSK throughout the competition. Owing to the same, CSK retained him prior to the 2022 mega-auction for a whopping INR 12 crore. Hence, the former Indian international is set to take the field in the 15th edition of the gala competition.
