The Asia Cup 2025 final at the Dubai International Stadium once again lived up to the hype of an India-Pakistan clash. Pakistan, batting first, came out firing and looked set for a commanding total. Their openers laid a solid platform, but India’s bowlers showed great discipline in the middle overs to peg them back.
The turning point came when wickets began to tumble, and suddenly, the Men in Blue were right back in the contest. The highlight of the innings, however, belonged to Jasprit Bumrah. Known for delivering in crunch moments, Bumrah reminded everyone why he is regarded as one of the finest death bowlers in world cricket.

In his third over, he produced a trademark yorker that crashed into Haris Rauf’s stumps, sending the Indian fans into a frenzy. The dismissal was not just about the delivery—it was about the celebration that followed.

Jasprit Bumrah marked the moment with his own version of the “Pakistan jet down” gesture, a subtle but pointed response to Haris Rauf’s infamous act during the Super Four clash. Back then, Rauf had courted controversy with an unsporting “jet crash” celebration directed at the Indian crowd, a move that saw him fined 30% of his match fee by the ICC. Bumrah’s reply, therefore, carried an extra edge—calculated, sharp, and executed on the grandest stage.

For Indian fans, the wicket symbolized more than just the fall of a lower-order batter—it was a moment of poetic justice. For Pakistan, Rauf’s dismissal deepened their collapse just when they needed to accelerate.
With momentum shifting India’s way, the Asia Cup final once again proved that in an India-Pakistan battle, every wicket carries emotion, every celebration tells a story, and every gesture adds to the legend of this eternal rivalry.
