The ICC’s warning has failed to control Pakistan batter Sahibzada Farhan, who continues to perform his controversial gun-firing celebration. He was reprimanded by the governing body of international cricket after his gesture during the Super Four match against India in the Asia Cup 2025. The BCCI had complained to the apex body, and the match referee warned him for his action.
He repeated the celebration during a recent promotional shoot. Farhan was not the only one who tried to mock the Indian fans and players as Haris Rauf showed his fighter jet down celebration. He was punished by the ICC, with the fast bowler being fined 30 percent of his match fee.
Sahibzada had defended himself. “I don’t believe in celebrating, but it came to mind, and I did it after scoring a fifty. I don’t care about the people, as my aim is to play aggressive cricket. It is not about India, but I believe in going after the bowlers against every team,” he said.
The right-handed batter also scored a fifty in the final against India, but he avoided the celebration. However, his effort went in vain as India beat Pakistan to win the Continental Cup.
