WATCH- Ravi Bishnoi and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi mock Saim Ayub’s ‘baby cradle’ celebration during Asian Games gold medal match

India men's and women's teams won the Gold medal in consecutive Asian Games in 2023 and 2026.

Indian players Ravi Bishnoi and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi were seen mocking Pakistan’s Saim Ayub as the Men in Blue defeated the Green Shirts in the final of the Asian Games 2026 on October 3 in Nisshin and won the gold medal in the men's cricket event.

The controversy started when Ayub dismissed the lethal Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who had scored only 15 runs. Saim mocked Sooryavanshi by making a baby-rocking or cradle gesture to give a send-off to the 15-year-old player.  

India won the toss and elected to bat first, putting up a total score of 211/6 in 20 overs, with Abhishek Sharma (61) and Tilak Varma (51*) scoring the most runs.

In reply to this, Hasan Nawaz came out to be the main man who chased for Pakistan and scored 96 runs with 7 sixes and 5 fours. Pakistan only managed 192/6 in 20 overs and lost the final by 19 runs. This was the second time India won the gold medal in men's cricket at the Asian Games.

As the Indian players took the field for Pakistan's innings, spinner Ravi Bishnoi and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi were seen mocking Saim Ayub and were seen making the same ‘cradle’ celebration, giving it back to the Pakistani youngster.
