The Asia Cup Super Four clash between Pakistan and India delivered not only thrilling cricket but also off-field drama.
During India’s innings, pacer Haris Rauf responded to crowd jeers with a bold “6-0” gesture, mimicking a fighter jet crashing — a nod to Pakistan Air Force’s May victory, when six Indian jets, including Rafales, were reportedly downed. The act went viral, celebrated by Pakistani fans and slammed by Indian supporters.
On the field, India chased Pakistan’s 172-run target to win by six wickets, with Sanju Samson and Hardik Pandya sealing victory. Post-match, controversy grew as both teams skipped the traditional handshake, drawing criticism for mixing politics with sportsmanship.
