India thrashed Pakistan not once, but twice in the Asia Cup 2025, by 7 wickets in the group stages and 6 wickets in the Super Four. Yet the games have been more in the news for controversies rather than cricket, particularly during the Super Four match. In the course of the match, Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf mocked the crowd with a plane crashing gesture, alluding to Pakistan's bogus claim of shooting down six jets during India's Operation Sindoor. Fuel was added to the fire when Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi shared an image of Cristiano Ronaldo celebrating his airplane gesture for Al-Nassr on his X profile. Although the post was not captioned, it was extensively viewed as an extension of the ridicule of India in the Asia Cup.

Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan have been complained against for their contentious conduct during the Super Four match. Farhan, who had scored a fifty, waved his bat in the manner of an assault rifle and pointed it at the opposition, while Rauf made the gesture of a downed jet plane, which angered the fans and created controversy. According to a report by Dainik Jagran, BCCI has asked Andy Pycroft to look into this issue. This follows after PCB had earlier lodged several complaints against Pycroft to the ICC, after India had declined to shake hands with Pakistani players. All of Pakistan's complaints, however, were dismissed unilaterally by the ICC.
