Jasprit Bumrah Mocks Haris Rauf With Jet Downing Celebration

The Asia Cup 2025 finals has lived up to its billing and we witnessed some high-end drama and action at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Pakistan failed to capitalise on their exceptional start and slipped on a banana peel. They were finally bowled out in their innings.

During the 18th over of the match, the Men in Green were languishing at 141/8 with Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz were at the crease. Haris Rauf had somehow managed to scrape out a boundary against the mighty Jasprit Bumrah in the second ball of the over. However, Bumrah showed why he is the best bowler in the world and had the last laugh. The fast bowler cleaned him up Rauf with a peach of a delivery, that rattled Rauf’s stumps.
