Overview

• Fielding near Indian supporters in Dubai, Haris Rauf flashed a “6-0” hand sign and mimed a crashing plane during the September 21 Super Four match.
• Clips of the moment circulated widely on social media, with Pakistani backers praising the taunt and Indian fans denouncing it.
• Coverage noted that viewers interpreted the gesture as invoking disputed claims about downed Indian jets, an association that remains unverified.
• Rauf also exchanged heated words with Abhishek Sharma after a boundary, prompting on-field umpire Gazi Sohel to step in.
• India chased 172 to win by six wickets, and the teams again skipped the customary post-match handshake.
