Every athlete displays a sheer amount of passion in their eyes, but in some, the emphasis is quite unmatched. Be it MS Dhoni, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Mike Tyson, they all have one thing in common, their passion for their sport and a hard early life that pushed them to pursue their passion with all might.
In a latest interview, a ce Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf recalled his tough times by saying he once sold biscuits in the market to help pay for his tuition. Rauf remarked, “The struggle persisted until I began playing tape-ball cricket.” Rauf, who made his international debut for Pakistan in 2020, has established himself as a key component of the country’s pace assault. He has taken 53 ODI and 83 T20I wickets for Pakistan so far in his career and can easily bowl faster than 145kph.
Haris Rauf's struggle gives me goosebumps. What a player he has become. Ma Shaa Allah

I used to work in the market selling snacks: Haris Rauf Recalls Days Of Struggle
“After matriculation, I used to work in the market selling snacks (nimco) on Sundays to be able to pay my fees. The rest of the week, I will attend school and academy,” Rauf told a reputed news channel.
“When I enrolled in university, my father was not earning enough to be able to pay my fees and I couldn’t afford it too but by playing tape-ball cricket I would easily manage my fees.”
“The boys, who play tape-ball professionally in Pakistan, easily make around 2-2.5 lakh per month. I used to earn that and would give it to my mother but I never told my father about earning this much.”
The Pakistani pacer also admitted that due to a shortage of room, he and his family had to spend a period of time during the hard times sleeping in the kitchen.
“My father has three brothers and all lived together. My father had one big room and when my uncles got married, my father gave his room to his brothers. Eventually, we reached the point where we were sleeping in the kitchen,” Rauf said.
The addition of pace bowling to cricket is only another essential element. Even in international cricket, anything bowled beyond 140 kph is regarded as a decent pace, and bowlers who can achieve such a speed with good line and length are a treasure. Haris Rauf from Pakistan is a similar example. The bowling of the master of speed can easily reach speeds of over 150 kmph.
