Another 'Gunfire Celebration' from a Pakistani batter after scoring a hundred. Experienced Pakistan batter Mohammed Rizwan was on the non-striker's end when his batting partner did the 'Gunfire Celebration.' 

After Sahibzada Farhan, it is now Mohmmad Haris who has recently caught cricket fans' attention not only for batting reasons but also for manifesting expression through a 'Gunfire Celebration' after scoring a hundred during Pakistan's Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2025-26. The Peshawar Cricket Team survived the early blows for their two centurions against the Sialkot Stallions. Experienced Rizwan is the leader of the team, who scored the first hundred of the match and helped his team to bounce back. Haris joined the captain in the middle after the fall of their 5th wicket. 

When Haris completed his century, Rizwan was unbeaten for 123 off 203 deliveries. Haris took 113 deliveries to touch the hundred-run milestone. The right-handed batter guided the ball towards the square leg for a single and completed the century. At first, his celebration was looking normal, throwing arms in the air, with a smile on his face, and he received greetings from the batting partner as well. Then, in a moment, Haris held his bat like a gun and pointed at someone.

Where does the 'Gunfire Celebration' come from?

Pakistan batter Sahibzada Farhan's gesture after scoring a half-century against India during the Asia Cup 2025 created a lot of controversies. During the Super Four match of the tournament, the Pakistan opener displayed the 'Gunfire Celebration.' This celebration came just months after the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 innocent Indian tourists were killed.

Cricket fans strongly criticized the gesture of the batsman. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) lodged a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) in protest. ICC match referee Richie Richardson gave a warning to the Pakistan opener.
