Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf and Australian batter Glenn Maxwell exchanged their jerseys after the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final match. Australia won the match by 5 wickets to secure a spot in the final against New Zealand.
The Aussie posted a picture with Rauf on Instagram and called the Pakistan speedster a 'superstar'. Both the cricketers have shared a dressing room in Australia's Big Bash League for Melbourne Stars.

"I'm so proud of how far this young man has come! What he has done for the @starsbbl and Pakistan cricket has been extraordinary! He is a fine human and a great teammate, and someone who I will always treasure as a friend. You are a superstar @harisraufofficial," said Maxwell on his Instagram post.
Pakistan couldn't defend a target of 177 runs against Australia as Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis' unbeaten 81 runs partnership helped them win in 19 overs.
Rauf was outstanding with the ball for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021. The pacer went wicketless only against Australia in the semi-final. He bagged 1/25 against India, followed by 4/22 versus New Zealand, 1/37 against Afghanistan, 1/25 in a clash with Namibia, and 1/27 versus Scotland.
