India played its second match against Pakistan in the Super Four Stage of Asia Cup 2025 but the drama went far beyond boundary. India showcased another dominating performance against their biggest rivals, their dominance in the tournament now crystal clear. Though on-field tensions between players, heated arguments and inflammatory gestures from the Pakistani camp provided plenty of fodder for debate, but it was an off-field incident that raised a storm on social media.
A Pakistani TV show clip has gone viral, attracting global outrage on social media. On a panel discussion for the India-Pakistan game, the host made a somberly serious comment regarding using violence as a means in the sport a remark many considered terribly out of place, given cricket’s reputation as a gentleman’s game.
Shameless Pakistanis on live TV
Losing the match so badly that they openly talk about sending boys to fire bullets and stop the game.
This is the real mentality of Pakistan — terror even in cricket!

“Mere khayal mein ya to ye karde ya kuch ladke firing hi kar dena idhar match he khatam karo kyuki confirm hai hum harenge. (I think either they should give it their all or the boys can do some firing and end the match because it’s confirmed that we are losing from here)”. the Pakistan panelist said
But the worse was the response in the studio the statement was greeted with laughter from the panel, and not condemnation. Being on the panel were former Pakistani cricketers Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal, adding to the furore, with fans asking how such a statement could go unchallenged given their presence.
The clip has created heated controversy on the internet, with cricket analysts and fans alike decrying the tone and behavior of the debate, particularly after a high-tension match that was already highly charged.
