Sahibzada’s Half-Century Celebration Surrounded by Controversy

Pakistan’s opening batsman Sahibzada Farhan scored a fiery half-century, and his celebration became a topic of discussion. Farhan made a gesture resembling gun firing (AK-47 celebration). This sparked strong reactions on social media.

Sahibzada Farhan’s Aggressive Approach

Yesterday, Sahibzada Farhan took an aggressive stance against India. He scored quickly and gave his team a good start. He put pressure on the Indian spinners by hitting fours and sixes. He scored 91 runs in 10 overs. His aggressive approach was evident even when he scored a half-century.

Sahibzada Farhan’s AK-47 Celebration

After scoring a half-century, Farhan looked towards his team’s dugout and made a gun-fire gesture, as if firing an AK-47 with his bat. The player’s gun celebration immediately went viral on social media, prompting trolls. Farhan’s celebration came at a time of already tense tensions between the two countries. Just a few months ago, a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir claimed the lives of approximately 26 people.

Shubman and Abhishek gave a befitting reply

However, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma retaliated with the bat. Both batsmen thrashed the Pakistani bowlers, and while doing so, Abhishek and Gill were also insulting them.
