Abhishek Sharma Haris Rauf Involved In Heated Exchange
Tensions Flare! Abhishek Sharma, Haris Rauf involved in heated exchange. Watch

The India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash in the Asia Cup 2025 has been an absolutely phenomenal game of cricket, with everything in it. Dropped catches, no-balls, maximums into the top tier and whatnot. But it hasn't been cricketing magic at its best; it also involved a very heated exchange between India's top order batsman Abhishek Sharma and Pakistan's veteran Pacer Haris Rauf. After Pakistan notched up 171 for 5 in the first innings, the Indian openers Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma came out with all their guns blazing. Within 4 overs, they had raced to 43 for no loss and Pakistan were looking for a wicket in desperation. Salman Ali Agha gave the ball to Haris Rauf in hopes that the wily Pakistani pacer would produce something special.

Abhishek Sharma smashed the first ball he faced for a boundary after a single by Gill. Then they rotated the strike. On the last ball of the over, a pull shot hit to perfection by Gill meant the ball raced to the fence for yet another boundary, taking the total to 12 in the over. In all fairness, that carnage would flip anyone's switch. Only in this case, the bowler went vocal, making his thoughts clear to Abhishek Sharma. The top-ranked T20I batsman didn't back off and went right back at Haris Rauf. As they both exchanged a few unpleasantities, the Umpires had to step in to solve the issue. gill and abhishek shown aukat to this porki haris rauf#INDvPAK #AsiaCup pic.twitter.com/0QByqZnNE0 — SouLKirmada (@BabluuuuOp) September 21, 2025 The Indian batter went to score at a breathtaking pace and finished the innings with a whopping 74 runs off 39 deliveries to his name. It was a full-circle moment, as Abhishek Sharma was caught in the deep by none other than Haris Rauf. And while the Pakistani might have contributed to Abhishek's wicket, the Indian youngster had the last laugh as he was India's top scorer on the night. It was his most valuable contribution of 74 runs that made sure that India completed their highest chase against Pakistan in T20Is, with the one at the MCG in 2022 being the previous highest chase.
