The Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan in Dubai had its share of heated moments, and one such flashpoint came courtesy of Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian pace spearhead sent Pakistan’s Haris Rauf back to the pavilion and followed it up with a celebration that immediately lit up social media a crashing airplane gesture.
The incident occurred in the high-intensity final when Bumrah bowled Rauf out with a top-class delivery. But what stole the spotlight was the follow-up Bumrah mocking Rauf by mimicking a plane going down, a deliberate reference to the Pakistani fast bowler’s earlier antics. During the Super 4 clash, Rauf had made a similar gesture toward Indian supporters after taking a wicket.
Bumrah’s comeback celebration quickly sparked a flurry of reactions across platforms. Many fans hailed it as poetic justice and a fitting reply, while others argued whether such gestures cross the line of sportsmanship. Regardless, the moment has become one of the defining highlights of yet another India-Pakistan thriller on the big stage.
