The Asia Cup 2025 continues to be marked by controversial moments involving Pakistani players. After the gun celebration by Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf’s unusual actions, the match against Sri Lanka saw another incident. A Pakistani player mocked Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, leading to a public retort by Hasaranga, who ridiculed Pakistan’s spinner Abrar Ahmed.
Abrar Ahmed imitated Wanindu Hasaranga. During the Super-4 match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan won by 5 wickets. A moment occurred that caused embarrassment for Abrar Ahmed. In the 13th over, Abrar Ahmed dismissed Wanindu Hasaranga and imitated him.
Hasaranga didn’t respond then, but when Pakistan batted, he retaliated. Upon dismissing Sam Ayub, Hasaranga mimicked Abrar Ahmed, visibly embarrassing the Pakistani spinner. The video quickly went viral.
After the game, Abrar Ahmed and Wanindu Hasaranga resolved their issues. Abrar Ahmed bowled well, taking one wicket for 8 runs in 4 overs, and Hasaranga scored 15 runs and took two wickets, but his team lost.
Sri Lanka scored 133/8 in 20 overs. Pakistan chased the target in 18 overs, winning by 5 wickets.
