Viral: Bumrah's Plane Gesture to Haris Rauf in Asia Cup Final
The act has invoked a mixed reaction, but mostly tilted to the tone of applause
Controversies aren't saying bye-bye to the Asia Cup yet. This time, Indian bowler Jaspreet Bumrah took Pakistan player Haris Rauf’s wicket, and went on to make a dipping flight gesture. The act has invoked a mixed reaction, but mostly tilted to the tone of applause.
During the Super Four game between India and Pakistan last Sunday in Dubai, Rauf had made the 'fighter jet' gesture after dismissing Sanju Samson.
BCCI later lodged a complaint with the ICC, and Rauf was found breaching the Code of Conduct. He was also fined 30 per cent of the match fee for the actions.
Meanwhile, India beat Pakistan on the same match by five wickets to clinch their ninth Asia Cup title.
Chasing 147 for victory, India depended on Tilak Varma's unbeaten 69 to reach their target with two balls to spare after spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav starred with figures of 4-30 in Dubai.
