Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf was involved in a war of words with a man in Florida. Rauf, who was having a stroll around the city with his wife, lost his cool at the man, who must've said something to him, which the Pakistan pacer didn't like or agree with. As Rauf ran towards the man to attack him, a few people stopped him from doing so. Even Rauf's wife tried stopping him, but the star pacer manager to free himself from her grasp. Rauf and the man exchanged a few expletives, but the people around them did a great job by separating the duo from hitting each other.
In a viral video, Rauf was even referring to the man as "Indian hoga (he must be Indian)."
However, the man replied saying: "Pakistani hoon (I am from Pakistan)".
Rauf's wife was constantly trying to calm him down but the cricketer looked visibly upset with the man confronting and constantly arguing with him.
