Haris Rauf, a fast bowler for Pakistan, garnered a lot of attention for his on-field actions during the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match versus India at the Dubai International Stadium. Indian supporters referred to Rauf as "disgusting" and "incompetent" when he made the contentious "6-0" and "fighter jet crashes" gestures.

In the most recent game, which took place on Sunday, September 21, Rauf was Pakistan's top bowler. Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of India, was among the two wickets he claimed.

Haris Rauf was fielding close to the boundary during the most recent game when he was teased by Indian fans. From the stands, the audience chanted "Kohli, Kohli" again and again. They brought back memories of Virat Kohli hitting him for consecutive sixes in Melbourne during the 2022 T20 World Cup.

Rauf retaliated with fighter jet crashing gestures and the contentious "6-0" sign. He intended for his contentious motions to agitate the onlookers.

Rauf had previously been overheard yelling "6-0" during Pakistan's drill at the ICC Academy in Dubai. Tensions between the two teams were heightened when images and videos of his on-field actions went popular online.

In the wake of the Pahalgam incident, Pakistan claimed to have shot down six Indian Rafael fighter jets as part of their defensive response to Operation Sindoor, which is why the "6-0" gesture is significant.

Haris Rauf’s wife, Muzna Masood Malik, took to Instagram to post a very instigating story. She posted photos of Haris Rauf showing the 6-0 gesture with a caption reading, “Lost the game but won the battle!”
