During the high-stakes India-Pakistan Asia Cup Super Four match, Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan ignited a viral moment by celebrating his half-century with a controversial AK-47 mimicking gesture.

Sahibzada Farhan’s AK-47 celebration

The high-octane India-Pakistan Asia Cup Super Four clash in Dubai had a viral moment when Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan pulled off a bold celebration after reaching his half-century. Facing Axar Patel in the 10th over, Farhan rocked back to a short delivery and dispatched it deep over midwicket for six. The shot not only brought up his fifty in style but also sparked an unusual display. The 28-year-old mimicked firing an AK-47 with his bat, drawing instant reactions from fans and commentators alike. The celebration stunned many in the stadium and set social media abuzz within minutes. Farhan’s aggressive batting was central to Pakistan’s strong start. He raced to his fifty off just 34 balls with five fours and three sixes, keeping the scoreboard moving at a brisk strike rate. His partnership with Saim Ayub helped Pakistan recover from the early dismissal of Fakhar Zaman, who fell cheaply to Hardik Pandya in the third over. At the halfway stage, Pakistan were well placed at 93/2, with Farhan anchoring from one end while Hussain Talat began to settle in. For India, the bowlers found themselves under pressure despite Bumrah’s probing new-ball spell and Kuldeep Yadav’s typically frugal middle-overs bowling. Yet, the cricket briefly took a backseat as attention shifted to Farhan’s AK-47 act. Some fans hailed it as passion and flair, while others criticised the optics of such a gesture in an India-Pakistan clash, given its politically sensitive backdrop. The celebration has already divided opinion online, with clips circulating widely. With plenty of overs left, his knock had already set the tone for a charged evening in Dubai.
