Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan was under criticism for doing ‘gun celebration’ during Asia Cup 2025. He did a ‘gun celebration’ after scoring a half-century against India. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had complained about this to the ICC, which had released Farhan after giving him a warning. Now it seems that Farhan has still not desisted from his antics. Actually, during an ad shoot, he is holding the bat like a gun.

Pictures taken from Sahibzada Farhan’s ad shoot have created a stir on social media. This whole controversy of ‘Gun Celebration’ started when Farhan celebrated his fifty by holding the bat like a gun in the group stage match held on 21st September. In the same year, 26 innocent people lost their lives in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the anger of the Indian people had not ended. Meanwhile, such action of Farhan had provoked the Indian fans.

On the other hand, Pakistan’s fast bowler Haris Rauf had made a gesture like shooting down a fighter jet during the same match. For this act, Rauf was fined 30 percent of the match fee, while Sahibzada Farhan was let off with a warning.

Causes of gun celebrations

Sahibzada Farhan said, “That celebration came only because of being lost in that moment. I usually do not do such celebrations on completing the fifty, but I suddenly thought that let’s celebrate today. I did the same. I did not know what the reaction of people would remain. I do not mind the reaction of people.”

Sahibzada Farhan gave the Pakistan team a fast start. His innings of 58 runs had laid the foundation to bring Pakistan to a big score of 171 runs. It was a different thing that Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill’s stormy batting helped India to register an easy win.

Sahibzada Farhan was not the only Pakistani player who trolled due to his gestures. Apart from him, Haris Rauf was lashed out on social media, who had pointed to the fighter jet on Virat Kohli’s chants.
