While fielding near the boundary, Rauf was seen signaling “0-6” with his fingers, reportedly in response to chants from Indian spectators. He also gestured as if a plane was taking off and then crashing — a moment that quickly went viral on social media, sparking outrage among Indian users and amusement among Pakistani fans.
Responding on X (formerly Twitter), Defence Minister Khawaja Asif wrote in Punjabi: “Haris Rauf theek takkar ya… kam chuk ke rakh” (“Haris Rauf is holding his ground well, keep it up”).
He further added: “Cricket matches will come and go, but 6/0 is something India will never forget — and the world will always remember.”
