The Asia Cup 2025 collision between India and Pakistan became ugly again, not for the cricket but for the antics of Pakistani players Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan. India has crushed Pakistan twice in the current Asia Cup 2025, first in the group phase with seven wickets and then in the super four by six wickets, but that brutal hammering has no effect on Pakistan.
The Pakistan National Cricket Team and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) continue to make unnecessary drama to hide their poor performance against the men in blue. They have now exceeded all the limits by the operation of India Sindoor by bringing their actions into the game.
India’s double demolition overshadowed by the shameful antics of Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025
During the Super Four collision in Dubai on September 21, Haris Rauf and Sahaibzada Farhan’s controversial gestures led massive indignation, with the former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan who closed the behavior as shameful.
Your daily dose of cricket!

Sahibzada Farhan shocked everyone by turning his bat into a gun and as if he shoots in the air after completing his half century with a six from Axar Patel. The action was seen as insensitive, especially with emotions that are still raw after the terror attack of Pahalgam that claimed 26 innocent lives in April 2025.
Later in the game, Haris Rauf also crossed the border and repeatedly made a “6-0” gesture to the Indian crowd, who mocked the Pakistani fast bowler with the songs of Virat Kohli. Rauf was beaten for back-to-back sixes in the World Cup 2022 T20 to help India beat Pakistan.

Rauf was even seen, so that the gesture of an airplane poured through his hands on the border line, coupled with the non -rewarded claims of Pakistan to shoot six Indian fighter jets during Operation Sindoor.
Now Irfan Pathan shouted the antics of Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan as embarrassing and unnecessary, which suggests that they are concentrating on their cricket instead of insulting the spirit of the game. He emphasized that Indian players never shy away from giving an appropriate answer when they are provoked.
Irfan Pathan said in a video that was posted on his X handle: “Indian cricketers are never affected. We never say anything. We play our cricket quietly. But don’t think we will not respond if you say anything, whether you are Australian or Pakistani. We will answer with our Bat and we will answer you.

In addition, Pathan criticized Farhan’s celebration in the chopping style and called it insensitive considering the tense situation between India and Pakistan since the Pahalgam attack. He also expressed disappointment about what Rauf had done and said that his behavior on the field was not necessary.
PaShan signed up by saying: “What happened in the game yesterday, or it was that Farhan’s celebration, you know what happens between our two countries, and you do that celebration. Haris Rauf, I thought this boy was okay. When we spoke in Australia, he sounded grateful.
