I am now 82 kgs,” he added.Rauf also recalled the time when he was a net bowler for India during their tour of Australia in 2018-19, before his international debut, and when he bowled to Virat Kohli in the nets.Rauf shared that Kohli was so impressed with the bowler that the Indian batter told him that “you will be playing for Pakistan in six months”.“And I played for Pakistan in 8-9 months,” the pacer said.Rauf's international debut came in January 2020 against Bangladesh.Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
