During the Asia Cup 2025 match at Dubai International Stadium, an Indian fan was heard shouting a provocative phrase, “Take that b****hod,” immediately after Tilak Varma struck a mighty six off Pakistan speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi. The six soared over the head of Haris Rauf and into the stands, capturing the excitement of the moment. A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.
The moment occurred in the second-last over of India’s innings, with Afridi coming on to bowl his final over after conceding 29 runs in his previous three. As the left-arm pacer pitched the ball up, Varma unleashed a powerful shot, sending it over long-off for a spectacular six. Rauf, positioned near the boundary, could only watch helplessly as the ball sailed past him and into the crowd.
This match carried an added layer of tension as Rauf had previously sparked controversy ahead of the Super 4 contest. During Pakistan’s practice session, he was heard shouting “6-0,” a reference to claims about downing six Indian jets during the recent military standoff. Additionally, Rauf had been involved in verbal confrontations with Indian players Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill.
Further fueling the rivalry, the 31-year-old speedster attempted to provoke Indian fans by making a “planes crashing” gesture while fielding at the boundary. These incidents added intensity to an already heated encounter between the two cricketing nations.
