Last night Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match of India vs Pakistan was not likely without controversy as in-play tensions came to a new rise with a violent backlash against Indian supporters, largely aimed at Pakistan bowler Haris Rauf. Rauf’s taunting “6-0” pose, executed beside the boundary ropes in front of a largely Indian audience, has set the internet ablaze with widespread condemnation and furious trolling on all social media platforms.
Incident Details and Audience Reaction
The incident unfolded in Dubai as Haris Rauf responded to a section of Indian fans who were chanting “Kohli, Kohli” a direct reminder of Virat Kohli’s iconic six off Rauf in a previous World Cup match. Instead of playing with decent body language and focusing on the game, Rauf pushed the silly Pak banter, signalling “6-0” with his hand, referencing Pakistan’s unconfirmed claims of downing six Indian jets during a military confrontation. He even replicated a plane crash, exacerbating the furore. The gesture immediately went viral, with video clips and photos being seen all over the internet. Indian fans within the stadium reacted with jeers, their indignation resonating through social media, where hashtags condemning Rauf’s sportsmanship trended soon. Indian batsmen Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill also had a visible verbal spat with the Pakistan bowler.
The 93000-0 Counter to ‘6-0’
Amid the backlash, Indian fans made the episode an online viral sensation, calling out Rauf’s move with a befitting response. The “93000-0” moment – flags off with a clear warning by an Indian spectator holding a sign in the crowd, was a sharp reminder of India’s victory over Pakistan in 1971 Indo-Pak war leading to the surrender of 93000 Pakistani soldiers, along with supremacy in cricket world championships. India’s fans boasted of their team’s undisputed record, calling out Rauf’s 6-0 jibe against India’s overwhelming dominance in several on field and off field encounters. The 93000-0 poster photo quickly went viral on X (ex-Twitter), which saw netizens employing it to troll Rauf and highlight the pointlessness of his trolling.

Trolling on X and the Online Uproar
On the platform X, people posted a flood of memes trolling Haris Rauf and Pakistan. Most of them picked up the irony of Rauf’s troll because India won against Pakistan with six wickets, fuelling the trolling even more. Some of the posts mocked Rauf’s action, saying statistics are in India’s favour by a huge margin. Others condemned the lack of sportsmanship, with Indian cricket stars and followers equally demanding that persons responsible for such actions be held accountable. The incident sparked a larger conversation regarding decorum on the field and the game’s spirit, so the exchange is one of the most discussed issues in Indo-Pak cricket history. A user even posted an edited video mocking the assault on Pakistani bowlers, followed by visuals of Operation Sindoor and mention of Nur Khan base.

Finally, as India’s satisfactory on-field performance caught the headlines, reaction to Haris Rauf’s act made the off-field roar equally charged on the internet, particularly Indian fans on X, ensuring that their voice wasn’t going unheard, loudly and clearly and the Pakistan’s narrative gets as good as it tried to give, if not more.
