In a high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan at the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 stage, batsman Sahibzada Farhan stole the spotlight with both his bat and his celebration. Coming in as an opener, Farhan played a crucial knock under pressure, guiding Pakistan to a strong start before unveiling a bold ‘gun’ celebration that has set social media buzzing.
Farhan’s Explosive Half-Century
India won the toss and opted to bowl first, hoping to put Pakistan under early pressure. However, despite a few chances offered, Farhan capitalised on Indian fielding errors and steadied the innings. He smashed a fluent 54 runs off 39 balls, reaching his half-century in just 34 deliveries at an impressive strike rate of 138.46.
Pakistan crossed the 100-run mark for the loss of just two wickets within 11.2 overs, largely due to Farhan’s aggression. Fakhar Zaman managed 15 before falling to Hardik Pandya, while Saim Ayub contributed 17 off 21 balls before being dismissed by Shivam Dube.

Celebration Sparks Buzz
Farhan’s ‘gun’ gesture after reaching his fifty immediately drew attention, with fans speculating whether it was a response to the earlier handshake snub incident. Fans suspect the Pakistani opener tried to troll Indian players who skipped the ‘handshake ritual’, paying tribute to the Pahalgam victims.
Angry fans brutally trolled, Farhan for what they called ‘show-off’ and ‘childish behaviour’. Indian players are yet to bat as fans are waiting for them to give a proper reply with their performances.
