Sahibzada Farhan's Gun Celebration: During the Super-4 clash between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan's opener Sahibzada Farhan stole the spotlight with his impressive batting. As soon as he reached his half-century, he performed a gun-like celebration that became the talk of the stadium.
Indeed, after scoring 50 runs, Farhan mimicked holding his bat like a gun and carried out a 'Gun Celebration'. Captured on camera, this moment has now taken social media by storm. Farhan completed his half-century with a six off Axar Patel's ball. There were also two missed catches by Indian players during his innings, which took him 34 balls to reach 50 runs.
However, Sahibzada couldn't extend his innings much further and was dismissed for 58 runs off 45 balls. His innings featured 5 fours and 3 sixes. Ultimately, Shivam Dube responded to Farhan's 'gunshots' with his own 'cannon' (ball) as he got caught by captain Suryakumar Yadav.
