Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan's shameful gun celebration provoked an uproar on social media

India and Pakistan participated in the second Super 4 match of the Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday evening, in which Team India again defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets. In this match, Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan did a shameful thing which has raised an uproar on social media. During the first innings of Pakistan, Sahibzada Farhan scored his half-century in 34 balls with two lives at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. After marking his half-century, he committed an ignominious act that is quickly trending on social media, eliciting stinging responses from Indian fans.

Indeed, Pakistan, having lost the toss and elected to bat first, had a disastrous start. They lost Fakhar Zaman for just 21 runs in just 2.3 overs. Sahibzada Farhan then shared a 72-run partnership for the second wicket with Sam Ayub, taking the team's score to 93 in 10.3 overs. Earlier, Sahibzada Farhan completed his half-century by hitting a six off the third ball of the 10th over bowled by Axar Patel. This is his fourth half-century in T20 Internationals. However, he also received two lives beforehand.

Upon reaching his half-century, Sahibzada Farhan held his bat like a gun and celebrated by firing it in the same manner. Indian fans are enraged by his shameful celebration. People on social media are saying that Farhan's gun celebration has not only teased the Indian team but also the fans. His shameful act has set social media ablaze.

It should be noted that tensions between India and Pakistan have been high since the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Tensions were also high before the group stage match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, when a group of former Indian cricketers and fans boycotted the match. This tension led to Team India refusing to shake hands with the Pakistani players, leading to significant uproar from Pakistan.
