National team fast bowler Haris Rauf has found himself in hot waters after a video of him angrily confronting a fan went viral on social media.

The incident occurred in the United States during the T20 World Cup. In the video, Haris Rauf can be seen and heard calling his fan an idiot.

The altercation escalated when Rauf attempted to physically confront the fan, despite his wife’s efforts to restrain him.

Rauf's anger was reportedly sparked by the fan's request for a photo.
