Abrar Ahmed celebration by India players - (Source : @Punjab Kings/X.com)
On Sunday, September 28, India scripted history as the Men in Blue beat Pakistan by five wickets to lift their ninth Asia Cup title. The Salman Ali Agha-led side, batting first, got off to a great start but lost their way in the middle and could only score 146 runs on the board.
In reply, India, unlike Pakistan, got off to the worst possible start and lost three wickets for just 21 runs. In the middle-overs, Abrar Ahmed spun his magic with the ball and took the crucial wicket of Sanju Samson.
India Players mock Abrar Ahmed after win
After the dismissal, Abrar gave a send-off to the RR captain by doing his signature pose. Despite the blow, India didn't bow down, and Tilak Varma stayed there till the end and remained unbeaten on 69.
Following the win, team India gave it back to the Pakistan spinner, and the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Jitesh Sharma made a reel, where they mocked Abrar by mimicking his celebration. Watch here.
Not only did Arshdeep and co. Mocked Abrar, but they also made sure Sanju Samson was in front of them as the batter was at the receiving end of Abrar's celebration in the match. The RR skipper found the act funny and couldn't control his laughter while shooting the reel.
Arshdeep loves to hit back at Pakistan players
Notably, Abrar is not the first player that Arshdeep has targeted from Pakistan, but the left-arm seamer also hogged the internet when he slammed Haris Rauf for his objectionable gesture during the Asia Cup Super Four match.
Following that gesture, PCB reportedly also filed a complaint against the seamer and an action is most likely to be taken by the ICC.
