Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf attracted a lot of attention to his on-field behavior during the Super Four match against India at the Asia Cup 2025 at Dubai International Stadium. Rauf created controversial “6–0” and “fighter jet” gestures, and Indian fans called him “disgusting” and “disabled”.
On Sunday, 21 September, Rauf was the best bowler for Pakistan in the recent match. He took two wickets, including India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav for a duck.
However, right -handed fast bowler Haris Rauf fought against India’s openers, in which Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma scored 18 off just 11 balls.

The “6-0” reference is associated with Pakistan’s baseless claims that they shot six Indian fighter jets during the four-day struggle after Operation Sindoor.
The gestures of Rauf were widely seen as an echoing this baseless story. India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. The Indian Army attacked terrorist camps in May 2025 in Pakistan and Pakistan -occupied Kashmir (POK).
Pakistan lost six wickets in Super Four Clash
Pakistan scored a total of 171 runs after batting first. He lost speed in the second half and decreased by 15–20 runs. His batsmen showed more determination than the earlier meeting with India.
During the chase, openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill took full control from the beginning. Sharma started with six of the first ball and scored 74 runs in 39 balls, including six fours and five sixes. Gill added 28 balls to 47 runs before he was dismissed.
Despite on-field tension and warm exchange, Sharma’s aggressive innings made it easy to chase. In Blue, men directed India to win six wickets. Suryakumar Yadav’s side will take Bangladesh in his next match, and a win may guide him in the final.
