Dubai, September 2025 – The Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan witnessed a fiery moment when Jasprit Bumrah gave a pointed send-off to Haris Rauf after dismissing him on Sunday.
The incident occurred in the 18th over, when Bumrah knocked back Rauf’s off stump, sending him back for six runs. After the dismissal, Bumrah gestured a “plane crashing down” – a direct response to Rauf’s antics earlier in the tournament.
During the Super Fours clash, Rauf had made the same gesture at the boundary ropes, alluding to military tensions between India and Pakistan earlier this year. His act had drawn criticism from Indian fans and former cricketers.
Bumrah’s retaliation in the final not only settled the on-field rivalry but also sparked animated reactions from the crowd, with Indian supporters roaring in approval.
