Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf’s marriage ceremony was completed a few days ago. He played his first match yesterday against Afghanistan after getting married and won the man of the match award for his excellent bowling.

Rauf took the wicket of Afghan batter Ikram Alikhil with his first ball in the match. He terrorized the Afghan batters throughout the whole innings. Rauf took 5 wickets at the expense of only 18 runs in 6.2 overs and made a great contribution to bundle out Afghanistan for just 59 runs.

After the match, a small talk show was organized inside the ground. Mohammad Haris was in charge of conducting there. Pakistani bowlers Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Haris Rauf were the guests on the occasion. The video was posted by Pakistan Cricket's official Twitter account. 

Rauf bowled a career-best in the first match after marriage. This was also Rauf's best bowling, considering not only ODIs but also international cricket. The topic of marriage also came naturally. According to Rauf, “Definitely there have been changes in life after the wedding. Alhamdulillah, she is lucky for me. Obviously, a start like this in a series is morale boosting ahead of mega events like Asia Cup and World Cup.”

Pakistan scored 201 runs by batting first in the first ODI against Afghanistan. In response, the Afghans were bowled out for just 59 runs. Pakistan is now leading the series by 1-0.
