During the first innings, Sahibzada Farhan celebrated his half -century by pointing his bat like a gun. The audience strongly criticized this act and described it as an unnecessary drama by Pakistanis to spoil the game. Some people accused Sahibzada Farhan of copying the AK -47 with the bat, saying, “It is not just an act – it reflects a deep problem.” Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said that Sahibzada Farhan proved on the field how Pakistani terrorists slaughtered 26 innocents in Pahalgam – “Fry them with such bullets as if nothing happened.”
Raut said in a post on X that he completed fifty runs and held the bat like AK-47 and hit fours! This spitting on the mouth of the BCCI and Modi government is extremely humiliating. Jai Shah deserves Bharat Ratna to embarrass India. Sharad Saran of Samajwadi Party also reacted to Sahibzada Farhan’s behavior during the match and emphasized the argument that India should not have played with Pakistan in the Asia Cup. In a post on X, Saran asked who is responsible for this insult of the country.
In the post of Sharad Saran, it was written, “People [साहिबज़ादा फरहान] Giving abuses, they are saying that they did so to repeat the Pahalgam attack and remind others. He made fun of India in the name of killings in India … If Modi wanted India, would India play cricket with Pakistan? ”This post of Sharad Saran came after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Malviya, who came out after being targeted by the opposition, who celebrated India’s victory with objections to the team after the Pahalgam attack and military struggle. It was that India should not play with Pakistan, sat fully ready to watch the match, even welcomed Sahibzada Farhan’s plays! It seems as if Shahid Afridi has already whispered Rahul Gandhi … What else can mean better than Congress’s readiness! “

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bhardwaj also condemned Haris Rauf’s move and called it an insult to the country. Bhardwaj wrote on X that in the India-Pakistan match, the Pakistani player is making fun of India in front of the whole world. He is making a gesture to kill the Indian jet. Why were Pakistanis given such a world -class platform? Why did we not immediately go out of the field? Saurabh Bhardwaj further said that the central government of BJP should be ashamed. By playing 2-2 matches with Pakistan, he has told the whole world that everything is going well with Pakistan. And their such acts?
