Haris Rauf’s Behavior Fuels Controversy in India-Pakistan Cricket Match

During the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match, Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf was criticized for his actions. After hearing “Virat Kohli” chants from the crowd, Rauf made a “falling plane” gesture, seen by some as a taunt. The situation was intensified when he followed this gesture with a “6-0” sign. This gesture appeared to be a reference to the claims made by Pakistan. The actions have drawn criticism and raised questions about the intersection of politics and sports. India secured yet another victory against Pakistan in the Super Fours, continuing their winning streak. The focus, however, shifted from the cricket to the conduct of the players.
