The India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final has lived up to its billing, producing not only high-octane cricket but also heated exchanges between players. Jasprit Bumrah added spice to the clash by mocking Haris Rauf’s infamous “dipping flight” gesture after dismissing him with a trademark yorker.
Rauf, who earlier in the tournament was penalized for “abusive language” and provocative actions against Indian players, was clean bowled for just 6 runs off 4 balls. Bumrah nailed a base-of-off yorker that flattened Rauf’s stump before imitating the Pakistani pacer’s celebration with a cheeky smile. The crowd erupted, viewing it as a fitting reply to Rauf’s antics from their previous encounter.
This moment adds another chapter to the fiery India-Pakistan rivalry, where cricketing skills and psychological battles go hand in hand. Bumrah’s mocking send-off not only underlined India’s dominance in the final but also highlighted the intensity of the contest that extends beyond bat and ball.
