Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan criticized Pakistan players Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan for their controversial celebrations during the Asia Cup Super Four clash. Farhan, after completing his half-century on Sunday, marked the moment with a gun-like gesture, while Rauf added fuel to the fire by signaling '6-0' toward the crowd, actions that quickly drew attention and debate.

Rauf also got involved with India opener Abhishek Sharma a few times. Pathan slammed both Pakistan cricketers but sarcastically added that he was not surprised from the gestures. He went on to explain how fans don't know how cricketers are behind the scenes.
