Highly impressive catch today and a world class stop on the boundary! He has been taking some amazing catches of late and his fielding in general has improved significantly!

Easily the most improved cricketer in Pakistan of late. If he can come from no hard ball cricket background and become such a high quality athlete within two years, why cannot others? There are guys in the side or have been a part of the national set up for so long yet they have not been able to display this kind of commitment and athleticism in the field.
 
Actually, he is a gun fielder. He was a really good fielder in the T20 WC also. One of the biggest reasons is because he puts 100% effort into fielding and pretty much everything else.

Not everyone has the same athletic ability. Rauf is now in professional set ups and clearly with training is showing the ability to improve rapidly- he might just be physically talented but never trained quite right before so his ceiling is high.

Other guys maybe just aren't all round athletes of the type who can become gun fielders. They can train hard, but have a lower athletic ceiling.

Everyone should be able to improve their catching & accuracy throwing. But not everyone has the athletic talent to become a gun fielder.

I think it's just that he gives his 100 percent when he's bowling or fielding.
 
Definitely a very good fielder for a bowler good energy when bowling or fielding.
 
Reminds me of Rana Naved ul Hasan's improvement in his fielding.

When Rana first came into international cricket he was a terrible fielder, but he worked hard on this aspect of his game and became a pretty decent fielder in the end.
 
Stunning by Haris at the BBL!

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] probably he learned how to field like this in the streets of Rawal Pindi?
 
Haris is a seriously underrated fielder, he does brilliant work on the boundary for Pakistan.
 
I just love the way he celebrate, classic chainsaw. I can watch that over and over!

Absolute gun in the field! He has to be one of the best fielders in the Pakistan set up right now!

The crazy thing is that he didn’t come through the system and yet he’s still a better fielder than most Pakistani cricketers that have come through the system.
 
A brilliant stop at the third man boundary:

Phenomenal athlete!

Has to be in the top 3 fielders in Pakistan
 
He's worked hard on his fielding and has vastly improved.

Initially he was all over the place as a fielder - huge improvement now.

That's an awesome piece of fielding. Rauf is really good for a fast bowler.
