Overview

• India chased 172 to win by six wickets in Dubai, powered by Abhishek Sharma’s 74 and a record 105-run opening stand with Shubman Gill.
• New footage shows Rinku Singh stepping in to pull Gill away during a heated exchange with Haris Rauf, which also required umpire intervention.
• Former players including Irfan Pathan and Deep Dasgupta condemned Sahibzada Farhan’s ‘gun’ celebration and Haris Rauf’s repeated ‘6-0’ gestures as provocative and insensitive.
• Fakhar Zaman’s caught-behind decision, upheld by the third umpire, remains contested by Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha, while Shahid Afridi questioned the officiating with a pointed remark.
• Abhishek Sharma said Pakistan pacers made personal attacks during the innings, and the incidents follow earlier handshake and officiating disputes that have yet to be resolved.
