Haris Rauf shameful act against India: Team India defeated Pakistan by six wickets in a high-voltage Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2025. This marked Team India's second consecutive victory in the Asia Cup. However, an embarrassing on-field action by Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf became a topic of discussion. While fielding near the boundary line during the match, Rauf made a provocative gesture towards Indian fans, a video of which is rapidly going viral on social media.
Haris Rauf first made a '6-0' gesture and then made a hand gesture that resembled a plane crashing. Indian fans are finding this highly offensive, as this gesture is being linked to Pakistan's alleged claim that they shot down six Indian fighter jets during the military conflict.
During the match, Haris Rauf faced chants of "Virat Kohli... Virat Kohli" from the Indian crowd while fielding on the boundary. The fans were reminding him of the T20 World Cup 2022, when Kohli had turned the match around by hitting two consecutive sixes in Rauf's over. Meanwhile, Rauf made provocative gestures, further heating up the atmosphere.

What Rauf did next was extremely provocative. The Pakistani fast bowler gestured "6-0" to the fans, alluding to Pakistan's unsubstantiated claim that they shot down six Indian fighter jets during Operation Sindoor. Following the "6-0" gesture, Rauf also imitated the downing of the planes with his hand gestures. Rauf was also severely reprimanded by Abhishek and Shubman. Irritated by their brilliant batting, Harris even confronted Abhishek, but Abhishek responded with a stellar response.

The controversy began a day before the match. During the Pakistan team's training session at the ICC Academy in Dubai, players were seen shouting "6-0, 6-0." While it was initially thought to be a joke about the score, the gesture during the match has now raised questions. Indians are also making memes about his actions. One fan wrote, "How many wars has Pakistan won against India?" The fan posted a picture of Harris scoring zero.
How many wars Pak won against India
