India Crushes Pakistan In Asia Cup Thriller As Farhan’s Gun Gesture Sparks Global Backlash

A major controversy erupted during the Asia Cup Super Four clash between India and Pakistan after Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan celebrated his half-century with a gun-firing gesture, triggering strong criticism across social media. Former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria slammed Farhan’s act, saying, “Farhan showed a gun, India replied with BrahMos through the bat.”India’s young opener Abhishek Sharma responded spectacularly on the field with a thunderous knock of 94 runs off just 49 balls, including 6 fours and 5 sixes. Partnered by Shubman Gill, the Indian openers launched a ruthless attack, chasing down Pakistan’s target of 172 in just 19 overs. The match, which began with no handshakes after the toss, ended with no post-match pleasantries either, highlighting the rising tension between the two sides.During the match, Haris Rauf exchanged heated words with Abhishek, further fueling the drama. After the game, Abhishek remarked, “They came at us without reason, so I responded with my bat.” His flying kiss celebration went viral, symbolizing India’s calm yet dominant response.Across India, fans celebrated the win with fireworks and chants of “India Number One.” The victory came just days after India’s “Operation Sindoor” military success — making it a symbolic double strike.
