Follow UsIf you look at the bowling figures of Haris Rauf against India in the Super Four Clash, you can say that he had a good day in the office. He was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan as he conceded just 26 runs from his four overs and got the wickets of Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson.
However, it was his gestures on the field that took the fans by surprise. He first had an altercation with Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma on the field, but what he did after that was something no one expected.
He gestured "6-0" with his hands, indicating that Pakistan had shot down six Indian Air Force planes during Operation Sindoor, of which there is no proof as yet. He did so after the constant "Kohli Kohli" chants from the crowd.
Haris Rauf confirmed to the Indian crowd how Indian Air Strikes came and destroyed 9 of Pakistan's T€®®@₹ camps.

Pakistan went on to lose the match by six wickets and will have to beat Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to book a place in the final.
The group stage match between these two teams was not short of controversies either. After winning the match, India refused to shake hands with their Pakistan counterparts, forcing the PCB to complain to the ICC against the Indian team for violating the spirit of cricket.
Moreover, they also alleged that match referee Andy Pycroft had ordered the captains not to shake hands at the toss and demanded his removal from the tournament. ICC denied these requests, and Pycroft continues to officiate the matches in the tournament.
