Haris Rauf Taunts India With ‘6-0’ Gesture

In a fiery Super Four clash of the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan’s fast bowler Haris Rauf grabbed headlines both on and off the field. While patrolling the boundary during India’s innings, Rauf responded to taunts from some Indian spectators with a hand gesture that immediately caught everyone’s attention.

Standing at the boundary, he held up his fingers to signal “6-0” and then, in a dramatic move, mimicked flying a plane and crashing it down.

Anyone watching instantly connected it to the Pakistan Air Force’s historic May victory, where six Indian jets mostly French Rafales were reportedly taken down in a major air battle.

Unsurprisingly, the clip went viral on social media. Pakistani fans celebrated it as bold, cheeky, and even glorious, while Indian fans reacted with anger, posting comments faster than a T20 run rate.

Once again, this episode shows what everyone already knows about the India-Pakistan rivalry: nothing is ever small—neither a boundary, a gesture, nor even a shrug.

Every moment can explode into headlines in an instant.

Handshake controversy lingers on

The Sunday's showdown between India and Pakistan wrapped up with more frost than friendship, as players once again left without the usual post-match handshake.

India successfully chased down a 172-run target to defeat Pakistan by six wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Sanju Samson and Hardik Pandya scored the winning runs in the penultimate over.

However, neither Indian nor Pakistani players stepped forward to shake hands.

The absence of the traditional handshake at the conclusion of the match has drawn attention, with observers pointing to a lack of sportsmanship and game spirit between the two arch-rivals.

Neither team offered clarification, but the incident underscored the lingering tension surrounding one of cricket's fiercest rivalries.
