In the ongoing first Champions Trophy 2025 match between Pakistan and New Zealand at the National Bank in Karachi, Haris Rauf marked his return as the right-arm seamer missed the recently concluded tri-series after suffering an injury in the opening match. 

Rauf was kept out of action as a precautionary measure and returned to the playing XI for the opening Champions Trophy match. However, he was greeted with a six by Will Young on the first ball of his spell. 

Rauf clocked mid-130 kmph, but Young found a top edge that sailed over the boundary ropes for a maximum. The right-arm seamer wasn't impressed by that delivery and looked into the skies following the six. Watch the shot here.
