Watch: In a Big Bash League match, Haris Rauf comes out to bat without pads; the video goes viral
A video of Melbourne Stars fast bowler Haris Rauf is going viral on social media. During the side's Big Bash League match against Sydney Thunder in Albury on Saturday, Rauf came out to bat without his pads. The Stars lost three wickets in three consecutive balls in the last over of their innings, and this caught Rauf off guard as he was not ready to bat. The player carried gloves and a helmet with him while entering the field in a hurry but did not wear his pads.

However, Rauf did not have to face any deliveries as there was only one ball left in the inning. Talking about the game, the Melbourne Stars lost by five wickets. They posted 172 all out in 20 overs after opting to bat first. Sydney Thunder chased down the target in 18.2 overs.
In another viral incident from the ongoing BBL season, England all-rounder Tom Curran was involved in an argument with the umpire.
