NEW DELHI: After Pakistan's current players, experts, former cricketers, and even their spouses, PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi could not restrain himself from adding fuel to the fire. Instead of making any effort to correct his players’ mistakes on the field against India, Naqvi himself stooped to their level.

Naqvi, who also serves as the Asian Cricket Council chairman, sparked fresh controversy on Wednesday by sharing a slow-motion video of Cristiano Ronaldo on X, where the Portuguese star mimics an aircraft crashing - a gesture similar to the one Haris Rauf made on the field during Sunday's India-Pakistan clash.

Naqvi, apart from also being Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman, is the 'Interior Minister' of his country and is known to make provocative statements against India.

Ronaldo, in the video, could well be explaining how his direct free-kick dipped and entered the goal.

After this, whether the Indian team, which is now the finalist of the Asia Cup, shares the dais with the ACC Chairman is something that remains to be seen.

The matter hasn't gone unnoticed as far as both BCCI and ICC mandarins are concerned. Only time will tell if there will be some kind of action taken against Naqvi.

During the September 21 match, Rauf had made gestures to depict the bringing down of a plane to mock India's military action after Indian supporters chanted "Kohli, Kohli" referring to the couple of match-winning sixes that the Indian legend hit off the pacer at MCG during a T20 World Cup game in 2022.

During the match, he hurled abuses at Indian openers Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma during his bowling spell and the two youngsters responded with their bats.

Sahibzada Farhan celebrated with a gun-firing gesture using his bat as a machine gun prop, something that has been widely criticised.

"That celebration was just a moment at that time. I do not do a lot of celebrations after scoring 50. But, it suddenly came to my mind that let's do a celebration today. I did that. I don't know how people will take it. I don't care about that," Farhan had told reporters after the match.
