Haris Rauf’s wife, Muzna Masood Malik, has sparked controversy after posting an Instagram story backing her husband’s “6-0” gesture during the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match. The gesture was made after Rauf was taunted by Indian fans about Virat Kohli’s sixes off him in the T20 World Cup 2022.
Rauf also made plane-crashing gestures and clashed with Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma on the field, prompting umpire intervention. Another Pakistan player mimicked a firing gun gesture after hitting a six. Fans and experts criticized the gestures, calling them inappropriate and offensive, making the incidents one of the biggest talking points of the Asia Cup 2025.
