A video of fans performing the garba step, inspired by Arshdeep Singh’s plane gesture and Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed’s head-tilt celebration, has gone viral on social media. This creatively choreographed dance was a brutal dig at Pakistan, referencing their unsporting gestures during the recent Asia Cup 2025 held in the United Arab Emirates.
During the tournament, a viral clip showed Arshdeep Singh gesturing towards the crowd, making an airplane with his hands and crashing it into his bottom. This savage reply was directed at Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf, who had repeatedly taunted the Indian crowd with a plane crash gesture coupled with a vile ‘6-0’ sign.
On the other hand, Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed revived his famous ‘Head Tilt’ celebration during the Asia Cup final against India, after dismissing Sanju Samson. However, the Indian trio of Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Jitesh Sharma added a playful twist to the celebrations following India’s victory in Dubai on September 28.
### Fans React to the Viral Video
The video quickly caught the attention of fans, who praised the creative response and the spirited celebrations. It became a symbol of India’s dominant campaign and competitive spirit throughout the Asia Cup.
### India Outclass Pakistan to Clinch Asia Cup Title in Style
India capped off a flawless Asia Cup campaign with a commanding performance, going unbeaten en route to lifting the trophy. During the Super Four stage, India dismantled Pakistan by six wickets, powered by a blistering 74 off 39 balls from Abhishek Sharma and steady support from Shubman Gill.
The final delivered even more drama. Pakistan looked in control at 113/1 before suffering a shocking collapse, losing their last nine wickets for just 33 runs and folding for 146. Kuldeep Yadav led the bowling attack brilliantly with figures of 4/30, while Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakravarthy provided crucial breakthroughs to trigger the downfall.
Chasing 147, India faced early jitters, slipping to 20/3. However, Tilak Varma anchored the innings with a composed 69 off 53 balls, forming a vital 60-run partnership with Shivam Dube, who contributed an important 33 runs.
With pressure mounting in the final overs, it was Rinku Singh who held his nerve, smashing the winning boundary to secure a thrilling five-wicket victory with just two balls to spare.
### A Fitting End to India’s Dominant Run
The win marked a fitting conclusion to India’s dominant run in the Asia Cup, once again asserting their supremacy in Asian cricket. The memorable performances and spirited celebrations ensured a contest that fans and players alike will remember for years to come—especially considering it was achieved against their fiercest arch-rivals.
