As the intense match progresses, it was highly anticipated that some spillover of aggression on the field would be clearly visible – and we’ve just seen the first example. In a recent incident, heated words were exchanged between Jasprit Bumrah and Sahibzada Farhan. Maintaining his aggressive stance, Bumrah mimicked the faltering airplane move after snatching the 9 wickets from Pakistan.
This is not the first time such an occurrence has taken place between the India and Pakistan teams. In the last match, tempers flared as Abhishek Sharma had a verbal spat with Pakistani pacers.
It was in the fifth over when Haris hit Rauf for a boundary, and Abhishek and Rauf engaged in a heated verbal spat right on the pitch. The altercation grew intense as Umpire Gazi had to step in and separate the players. Gill also joined in on the exchange with Abishek and responded as the unsolicicted sledging from teh Pakistani team was not appreciated.
At the end of the match, Abhishek clarified that I did not like it at all. That’s why I went after them,” Abhishek said in the post-match presentation ceremony while speaking to the presenter and former Pakistan women’s cricketer Urooj Mumtaz.
Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma’s history
If you are unaware of the bond of friendship between the two, Abhishek and Shubhman Gill were teammates in the India U19 team that won the U19 World Cup in New Zealand in 2018, led by Prthvi Shaw and coached by Rahul Dravid.
Jasprit Mocks Pakistan Yet Again
It was while taking the 9th wicket of Haris Rauf that Jasprit valiantly mocked the Pakistani player in his own way. He mimicked the faltering airplane act that the Pakistani player had been doing when the teams went against each other the last time. His flamboyance and coyness brought the fans to rejoice.
