In the Asia Cup 2025 match played between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 21 September, Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf was seen disputed 6–0 to fans of the Indian cricket team. Fielding near the boundary, many videos and photos are going viral on the internet by Rauf’s 6–0 pointing to Indian fans. 6-0, Pakistan references to a baseless claim in which he killed six Indian fighter jets during a four-day clash after Operation Sindoor.
India Pakistan match
In the match against India, Pakistan lost by 6 wickets after failing to defend the total score of 171 runs, Rauf threw four overs and took two wickets for 26 runs. He opened his wicket account by dismissing Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav at zero for three balls and then took the wicket of Sanju Samson. On the third ball of the 11th over of Run Chase, Abrar Ahmed caught Surya’s catch, while Rauf penetrated Samson’s defense and added 13 runs in 17 balls to India’s total score.
What was the whole matter?
While fielding near the boundary, Rauf had to raise slogans of ‘Virat Kohli’, as the fans were reminding them of the T20 World Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan, where the Indian batsman overturned him by hitting 2 sixes in a row in the first over.
However, what Rauf did after this was extremely stimulating. The Pakistani fast bowler pointed to the fans ‘6–0’, in which he referred to the unconfirmed claims of Pakistan that he had killed six Indian fighter jets during the military struggle after Operation Sindoor. Following the 6–0 gesture, Rauf also made a hand gestures while copying the crashes of the aircraft.

While Pakistan and many of its former players say that politics and sports should be completely independent of each other, the acts of players like Haris Rauf on the field tell the real feelings of the cricketers across the border.
Pakistan performed the worst ever
Talking about the Super 4 match against India, in the Asia Cup 2025, Suryakumar Yadav’s team faced Pakistan’s second consecutive defeat. If both teams qualify for the finals, then India and Pakistan may once again face face to face in this tournament.
