Despite not having a good day on the field, especially in the fielding, India thrashed Pakistan in the Super Fours of the Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai on Sunday (September 21) night. During the first innings of the match, Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan's half-century gesture was really controversial, as many Indians have slammed the Pakistan cricketer for his act. 

Due to the present situation between the two countries, the India vs Pakistan Super Fours match in the Asia Cup 2025 was a heated game, where India won by six wickets with seven balls remaining to successfully chase the 172-run target.

While some Indian fielders had an off-day, Pakistan managed to get a good start, as they scored 91/1 in 10 overs. In that 10th over, Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan, who was dropped twice by Abhishek Sharma, completed his half-century with a sixer against Axar Patel. He completed his half-century in 34 balls, but then his half-century gesture was unacceptable for the Indians.

Ironically, Pakistan faced downfall from that moment, while Sahibzada Farhan scored 58 off 45 balls before he was dismissed by Shivam Dube, while the Pakistan opener's bat flew away from his hand. After completing his half-century, he added the next seven runs in 11 balls. Despite some firing performance in the late slog over, Pakistan managed to score 171/5, and India comfortably chased the target after a stormy start by the Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill. 

Many Indians have slammed Sahibzada Farhan for his half-century celebration. Some Indians have raised questions once again about playing against Pakistan in a tournament in the present situation.
