What is Sahibzada Farhan's Gun Celebration Against India During Asia Cup?

The Super Four clash between India and Pakistan started off on a bitter note as there was no handshake between the two captains once again. However, the Men in Green have shown some courage this time as the batting has been brilliant so far. At the end of the power play, Pakistan were 55-1, thanks to Sahibzada Farhan.

The batter has played some marvellous shots throughout the innings and reached his half-century within ten overs. However, his celebration after scoring the fifty was unique.

Sahibzada Farhan does Gun Celebration After Thrashing Indian Bowlers

In the 9.3 overs, Sahibzada Farhan slammed a brilliant half-century in just 34 balls with a solid six. On the short outside off delivery, he pulled it across the midwicket for a six and reached his fifty. He then did the Sahibzada Farhan gun celebration with the bat, which was quite unique to watch for the viewers. Sahibzada Farhan celebration became quite popular on social media as well. He was looking in red-hot form, and until he was on the crease, Pakistan could have gone past the 200-run mark in the match.

The game started with India winning the toss and choosing to field first. Like the previous encounter, the captains didn't shake hands and maintained a considerate distance from each other. As the game started, Pakistan's openers Sahibzada and Fakhar Zaman thrashed the Indian bowlers. Despite losing Fakhar early, the batters didn't stop there. One of the best openers in the world, Fakhar Zaman, looked in good form before he was dismissed by Hardik Pandya. The ball went to the wicket keeper, and the batter was sure that the ball had touched the ground before going to the keeper.
However, the third umpire's decision was something else. He gave the batter out since the ball landed on the gloves and didn't touch the ground. Fakhar Zaman didn't look happy with the umpire's decision since he made animated reactions while leaving the ground.
Saim Ayub played well today after scoring a series of ducks in the tournament. He scored 21 off 17, including one boundary and six. He was dismissed by Shivam Dube. Despite India's poor fielding today, Abhishek Sharma managed to take a brilliant catch to send the batter back to the pavilion.

Sahibzada Farhan's Outstanding Performance Helps Pakistan Stand Tall In 1st Innings

While wickets kept falling from one end, Farhan made sure to stay and score runs for the team. However, he was dismissed by Dube in 14.1 overs. He scored a brilliant 58 off 45 balls, including five boundaries and three sixes.
At one point, Pakistan looked like they might cross the 200-run mark, but the batters kept losing wickets at regular intervals. As we write, they scored 171 runs at the loss of five wickets in their 20 overs. Now everything depends on the middle-order batters, especially Salman Agha. His performance hasn't been that great, and this is the match where he can show his strength and put the opponents in danger. As the first innings are almost ending, it will be interesting to see how one of the biggest rivalries, i.e., the IND vs PAK Asia Cup Super Four goes.
