Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhana in the middle of the century and the reaction of the fast pitch of Haris Rauf to Indian fans brought the mentality of the “Mujahid” team to the forefront. In Sunday’s Super Fours match on Sunday Sahibzada F showed as if shooting down the planes and flashing six fingers. His act was a reference to Pakistani unfounded demands that during the Sindoor operation, six Indian aircraft – a claim that international observers headed as missing credible evidence. Bravado came even though Pakistan was in a field in a different field than the defeat he faced in May to Indian forces.
On Sunday, India defeated Pakistan for the second time a week in the Asia Cup 2025 series. The loss of the team of the Pakistani team in 11 of the last 17 Asia Cup matches against India, with the exception of games without a result, you were not in cricket. The fact that Boorishness was also exhibited on Sunday, with provocative gestures reflecting the persistent lack of sporting behavior. India and Pakistani matches have always been highly octane games, and the tension occasionally increased, but such a display of militant thinking revealed Pakistanic crickets on the pitch for the first time.
The former Insamam-ul-haq and Mohammed Yousuf, who transformed from Christianity, were among those who practiced Islam in the field, but many players like Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf went one step further in the open acceptance of militant “my” “” identity.
Pakistan is a well -known exporter of terror, and it was an attack on terrorist camps under the Sindoor operation, which caused a four -day war between India and Pakistan in May. Islamabad was also on the FATF Gray list to finance terrorism.
Farhan and Rauf brought terrorist symbolism to the “gentlemen of the game”.
India’s answer came up with professionalism and measured aggression, just as the game requires. Abhishek Sharma described his shifts as the answer of Pakistan as “accepting us for no reason”.
When Sharma received the player’s prize, he said, “The way they came to us without any reason I didn’t like it at all. And I thought it was the only (answer) I could give with my bat and of course (contribute) with victory towards my team …”
The BCCi and the Indian government faced criticism for its consent to play Pakistan in the Asian Cup, and many fans ask if cricket diplomacy should continue at all.
Minister Bcci Devyit Saikia claimed that India has no choice in this thing, bound by the tournament structure. Despite these reservations, millions of Indians still tune in and believed that only the game would remain a game.
Even The Supreme Court of India noted that it was just a game. Pakistani players, however, blurred the spirit of sports behavior.
Pakistani players take a religiosity when they dive in
Critics have long noted that the Pakistani cricket bears apparent religiosity. It allowed the mentality of “MUJAHID” or “jihad ethos” to sneak from time to time into sport.
When the performance of Pakistani players decreases, this spirit appears.
The 2007 World Cup to West India is one of the most cited examples. Several players influenced by Tableghi Jamaat – a conservative Islamic missionary group – met training that preached to local residents.
Pakistani journalist Syed Muzammil noted how this was hampered by the cohesion and professionalism of the team, which forced the Pakistanic cricket council (PCB) to add a provision prohibiting religious or political sermons during the tour.
Some players openly accepted the identity of “myjahid”. Former Insamam-ul-haq captain was often called “Mujahid-E-Multan” next to his more popular nickname “Multan Ka Sultan”.
Insamam once appreciated the goal-Batsman Mohammad Rizwan and said, “Rizwan will not let Muslimy approach Zasaz. That’s why he is the best captain.”
He also said, “The Pakistani cricket team invited Indian Muslim players Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif and Zahheer Khan to listen to Maulany Tariq Jamil in our dressing room. Harbhajan Singh almost transformed.”
They claim to Harbhajan Singh are unverified.
The statement of the former best player reveals thinking in the team itself.
In 2014, Batsman Ahmed Shehzad was caught on a field microphone and said Sri Lanka’s Tilllatne Dilshan“If you are a non -Muslim and you turn Muslims, no matter what you do in your life directly to heaven.”
This junk da’wah, or religious invitation, showed how the missionary zeal spilled into cricket.
Team conversion emphasizes this trend. Mohammed Yousuf, formerly Yousuf Youhana, transformed from Christianity in the middle of career and later credited ”Daawat Aur Mahaul Ka Asar“ – the influence of constant religious sermon and the environment – for its transformation.
It was a personal choice of youyfa, but it showed that the team was swinging a religiosity.
At the same time, the Danish Hindu Spinner Danish Kaleria repeatedly claimed that his faith cost him opportunities and respect. He claimed that his career was derailed in a setting where religious consensus depended more than raw talent, which emphasized the systemic exclusion.
These episodes painted the team not only deeply devoted, but aggressively.
Sahibzada Farhan, Haris Rauf brought militant my Mujahid mentality on the playground
Cricket has always been proud of his traditions of grace, humility and fair games.
For some reason, it is called the “gentleman’s game”.
Gestures like Sahibzada Farhan’s AK-47 shooting when he reached 50 on Sunday and Haris Rauf’s pantomime showed how Pakistani players break the ethos of sports behavior.
It is a very different matter that does not shake hands, but terror war mimicry in the field is unheard of.
After the loss of Pakistan and unsportsmanlike behavior, not only the Indians, cricket fans from all over the world trollized Pakistani players.
“Haris Rauf was declared – a new” field marshal “of Pakistan, after his hammer from 25 years Abhishek Sharma. It is as if Brahmos hit Nur Khan the base at night, ”said English referee Richard Kettleborough on X, attaching a Rauf clip that went to the Indian fighter that was hit.
This display reveals a terrorist psyche on a serious remark that has penetrated every sector and layers of Pakistani society due to the government of the Millah over the decades.
“Pakistani cricket Sahibzada Farhan imitated AK-47 with his bat during the match against India. This is not just a gesture-ashes a deeper problem. From military to the actor, he learns that violence is gloric, that he is written, that is shrouded, which is written, Zahacker culture. shrouded, ”written that it is that he is hitting culture,“ Zhackack ”,“ Milli Chronicle.
Sajid Yousuf Shah based in Srinagar, while congratulating the Indian team, weighed the boycott of demand. “In a personal note, I would like us not to play cricket with the butchers who broke the lives and identity in the Kashmir valley during the Pahalgam terrorist attack.”
For India, such moments strengthen the argument against the ongoing cricket ties with Pakistan. While Handshake Snubs Or heated words are part of the game, gestures of violent actions, shooting and shooting aircraft, exceeding the border. The India team has shown that intensity and rivalry can be directed without evoking religious or militant undertones. Of the hundreds of lessons that Pakistan must learn is that cricket is a game, not the Holy War.
