Mohsin Naqvi, chairman of the Pakistanic cricket council (PCB), added two cents to the ongoing discussion in Asia 2025. His post Twitter (now x) was angry with many Indian fans. The post, shared on September 24 at 16:41, has so far received 1.1 million views.
Previously, Pakistani stimulator Haris Rauf has repeatedly performed provocative gestures with Indian fans in Dubai. He imitated a fighter aircraft. During the match in India-Pakistan, he also showed the hand sign “6-0”.

In the same match, the AK-47 Sahibzada Farhan also caused massive outrage.
The gesture of the “crashing stream” of Haris Rauf, as well as the “6-0” signal, concerns the unverified propaganda of Pakistan about the Indian Air Force. The Pakistani army claims that he shot down six Indian fighter aircraft during the Sindoor operation.
Support for Haris Rauf
Haris Rauf’s wife, Masod Masood Malik, was among the first to publicly support the bravery of the player. On Instagram she shared photos of Haris, who was doing gestures, and wrote, “He lost the match but won the battle.”
Now Mohsin Naqvi did a similar thing. Instead of direct access, however, the President of the Asian cricket council has taken an indirect way.

On Twitter (now X) he shared a video clip of Cristiano Ronald, who performed a “jet accident” gesture. CR7 scored twice in 4-0 victories of Al-Nassru over Al Wasl in February. After the second goal he performed a gesture of “plane crash”.

The reaction of social media
Several Pakistan users condemned the post.
“I think this tweet should be deleted. Naqvi Sahab, you are chairman of ACC and PCB – such a small policy does not correspond to your position,” one of them wrote.
“Continue to hide all the failures of the cricket team behind the success of the Pakistan Air Force,” he wrote another.
Another joked, “Become a stage actor … that’s what suits you now.”
“Mohsin Naqvi Sahib, is it your Ministry of the Interior and your performance as PCB chairman he says about?” He commented on another Pakistani user.

“In my opinion, this is not good for cricket. Mr. Naqvi should take some care. Consider the ICC to be essentially India; this could damage the Pakistan cricket,” he said from another.
Another Pakistani user advises: “First, it will improve the standard of Pakistan’s cricket. This is not your job.
“We cannot hide our failures and shortcomings forever with these hands gestures. Every institution and department are inadequately more powerful. The cricket is at its lowest time. We can’t go to conflict forever,” he said.
Meanwhile, BCCI filed an official complaint against Haris Rauf and Sahibzad Farhan for their provocative gestures during the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four Clash with India. He provided the video evidence and demanded a strict action against both crickets.
