The Super Four clash between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 was marked by intense cricketing action on the field, but the behavior of some players caught as much attention as the match itself. Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf, who had earlier clashed with India’s Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill, was seen performing a “plane-crashing” act while fielding on the boundary. The video of the incident has now gone viral, sparking widespread discussion on social media.

Haris Rauf’s unusual action appeared to stem from frustration rather than celebration. Observers noted that performing such gestures without the context of a match result reflected his inner anger, rather than any conventional celebration.

The incident drew further attention when Indian fans at the stadium began chanting “Kohli, Kohli!” at Rauf, comparing him to former India captain Virat Kohli. The Pakistani bowler chose to ignore the chants, maintaining his composure on the field despite the distraction.

On the cricketing front, Haris Rauf remained Pakistan’s most economical and effective bowler, recording figures of 2/26 in his 4 overs. However, his efforts were overshadowed as India comfortably chased down Pakistan’s target, winning by six wickets with seven balls to spare.

The episode added yet another dramatic chapter to the ongoing India-Pakistan rivalry in the Asia Cup 2025, with fans focusing as much on the theatrics as on the cricketing performance.
