The match between India and Pakistan in the Super 4 round of Asia Cup 2025 once again proved to be exciting and memorable for the spectators. During this match, Haris Rauf made a gesture that was not at all well-received by the Indian team and fans.
Sports News: There is a perception about Pakistan that it still lives in a fantasy where it believes it won all the wars fought against India, while the reality is completely different. Similarly, on the cricket field, it has been observed that if India-Pakistan matches were not live telecast, Pakistan could claim, despite its defeat, that it had beaten Team India. The same situation applies to their army—living in its self-created narrative, detached from reality.
Haris Rauf's Controversial Gesture
Pakistan's fast bowler Haris Rauf made a 6-0 gesture during the match against India. The purpose of this gesture, according to Pakistan's claims, was to show that their army had shot down 6 Rafale jets belonging to India. Haris Rauf also wanted to convey that the Pakistani team had dominated the game against India.
However, this gesture was not at all appreciated by Indian captain and batsman Abhishek Sharma. The Indian team decided to respond to this sporting and psychological pressure on the field itself.
Abhishek Sharma's Powerful Innings
Abhishek Sharma completely dominated Pakistan's bowling. He scored 74 runs off 39 balls, including 6 fours and 5 sixes. His innings put India in a b position and debunked all of Pakistan's claims. During the match, Abhishek Sharma not only scored runs but also mentally pressured the Pakistani players. His aggressive batting captivated the audience, and his innings was described on social media as "fighter like the Indian Army."
Despite Haris Rauf's 6-0 gesture, the Pakistan team could not withstand India. Indian batsmen bly countered their bowling and maintained pressure by scoring runs in every over. This made Pakistan's players appear mentally and technically weak. The Pakistani team's claim that they defeated India has now been completely refuted by the results on the field. The Indian team registered a clear victory over Pakistan in the Super 4 round and asserted its dominance.
