[Watch] “Kohli Kohli” Chants Trigger Haris Rauf Meltdown in IND vs PAK Super Four Clash

The Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium certainly suggests it would be a high-voltage match. Even if fans were expecting cricket to be the headline, it was Pakistan’s fast bowler Harish Rauf who gained unwanted attention.

The night had plenty of drama, from harrowing gestures to India’s dominant run chase.

Kohli Kohli Chants Get Under Haris Rauf’s Skin

While Pakistan was bowling, fans started taunting Haris Rauf by chanting Kohli Kohli. It was a clear reminder of the two straight sixes Virat Kohli smashed against him in the 2022 T20 World Cup.

At first, Rauf seemed cool, even pretending to listen harder to the chants by cupping his ear. But he soon lost it. The fast bowler then made a gesture of a fighter jet crashing and then held up a hand showing 6-0. People think was about Pakistan saying they shot down Indian jets a while back. No one has ever been able to prove that the incident occurred.

The gesture quickly spread online, causing lots of anger. Many fans and experts said it was a bad move, calling it unsportsmanlike and insensitive, especially given the already high emotions surrounding the rivalry.

Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill Power India to Win

Again on the ground, India defeated their opponents “severely” and emphatically by a six-wicket win. Openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill combined brilliantly to stitch up a 105-run partnership against a target of 172.

Abhishek Sharma: 74 runs from 39 balls, broke Pakistan’s attack with fearless strokeplay.

Shubman Gill: 54 runs, eased the innings with his calm and collected approach.

The partnership virtually ended the Pakistan’s revival after that stage, providing them with the slim odds of winning back the match. The victory was achieved by India with 7 balls remaining, thus registering their 2nd win against Pakistan in this Asia Cup tournament.

Contention Dominates Cricket

Despite dynamic action on the playing grounds, Haris Rauf’s fighter jet gesture dominated the conversation. An encounter that could have been remembered as a classic India-Pakistan rivalry became an internet argument about sportsmanship and political undertones.

For Pakistan, the controversy just added to the disappointment of another defeat, while India claimed not just victory, but momentum into the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2025.

India played really well, showing they’re likely to win the Asia Cup in 2025. Pakistan, on the other hand, has some problems to deal with, both in the game and outside it.

Even after things calm down, people will probably keep talking about Haris Rauf’s behavior. It just goes to show that when India and Pakistan play, things can get heated, and feelings can get in the way of how well someone plays.
