LAHORE: Cricket is an intense game where several ups and downs are witnessed — may it be with the opposing side or amongst teammates themselves.

In Pakistan Super League's (PSL) last league match on Monday, Lahore Qalandars' Kamran Ghulam dropped Peshawar Zalmi batter Hazratullah Zazai's catch in the second over.

Haris Rauf bowled a full ball, which Zazai tried to work away on the leg side. But Ghulam dropped the catch.

In the same over's fifth ball, Rauf got the wicket of Mohammad Haris (6), courtesy of Fawad Ahmed's catch.

When the team gathered to celebrate the catch, Rauf slapped Ghulam, who looked a bit surprised.

Later in the 17th over, Ghulam was able to run out Zalmi skipper Wahab Riaz (1). At this, Rauf came and hugged him.

Meanwhile, sources informed Geo News that match referee Ali Naqvi summoned Rauf after the match and warned him to be careful in future.

Sources said that the referee told Rauf that humour on the field could damage the image of the game.

They further added that the on-field umpires did not file any complaint with the match referee in this regard as the matter was between the two players of the same team hence, it wasn’t considered as serious.
