In a disappointing turn of events for Pakistan, Haris Rauf's performance in the ICC World Cup 2023 has been far from stellar. Known for their formidable pace attack, Pakistan's leading pacers, including Shaheen Afridi, failed to make a significant impact. Haris Rauf, in particular, faced a horrendous start to the World Cup, conceding a record-breaking number of runs.

Rauf now holds the dubious record for conceding the most sixes in a World Cup edition, with batters smashing 16 sixes against him. The Pakistan pacer has conceded a whopping 500 runs in the tournament, making him the most expensive bowler in the ICC World Cup 2023.

Despite clinching 13 wickets, Rauf's struggles on the field have put Pakistan's chances of reaching the semi-finals in jeopardy.

In the ongoing match against England, where Pakistan is striving to secure a spot in the semi-finals, Rauf faced further challenges. England won the toss and chose to bat, putting more pressure on the struggling Pakistani team.

Rauf's nightmarish World Cup is evident in his bowling statistics. While he is the joint fifth-highest wicket-taker in the tournament, his bowling average has soared to 36.07, with a strike rate of 31.84.
