Why were Pakistan team seen doing 6-0 gesture at their practice session ahead of IND vs PAK Super 4 Asia Cup clash?

A video of Pakistan shouting 6-0 at the ICC Academy during their practice session with the full-strength side has gone viral. They are preparing themselves for the upcoming rivalry clash against India in the Super 4 stage of the tournament at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Their full strength side was present in the practice session.

The players were busy in the football game. For that, they were divided into two groups. In one group, they had Salman Ali Agha, Fakhar Zaman, and Saim Ayub, while on the other, they had Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammed Nawaz, and others. During the game, Rauf, at the moment, had six points to the opponents' 0, to which they shouted 6-0 to the opposition.

It was an interesting moment. That 6-0 scoreline is famous for different reasons. It’s a reference to their Air Force’s claim that they shot down six Indian fighter jets during the recent conflict of the Operation Sindhoor. The Indian Air Force made similar statements that they killed at least five fighter jets and one large aircraft in May.

That 6-0 was portrayed differently. Later, the scoreline went to 7-0, which was also shouted by Rauf in the practice. Therefore, it’s only a scorecard of the football game from the practice session ahead of the India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash of the Asia Cup 2025.

In the group-stage of the tournament, Salman Agha-led side was restricted to 129/7 in their first innings. Kuldeep Yadav was the peak of the bowlers from India, while their three quality spinners ended with a combined figure of 6/60 in 12 overs. It was only Shaheen Afridi’s knock that bailed them out of trouble.

In reply, India completed a successful and easy chase with Abhishek Sharma providing them a fine start before Suryakumar Yadav nailed the winning runs to claim the victory. They finished the group stage with an undefeated run, along with victories over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman.
