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. The creatively choreographed dance was a brutal dig at Pakistan for their unsporting gestures during the recent Asia Cup 2025 held in the United Arab Emirates.
During the tournament, a viral video showed Arshdeep Singh gesturing towards the crowd by making an airplane with his hands and crashing it into his bottom. This savage reply was aimed at Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf, who had repeatedly taunted the Indian crowd with similar plane crash gestures alongside a vile ‘6-0’ sign.
On the other hand, Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed revived the ‘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 the final held in Dubai on September 28.

India outclassed Pakistan to clinch the Asia Cup title in style. India capped off a flawless campaign, going unbeaten on their way to lifting the trophy.
In the Super Four stage, India dismantled Pakistan by six wickets, thanks to a blistering 74 off 39 balls from Abhishek Sharma and steady support from Shubman Gill.
The final brought more drama. Pakistan appeared 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 charge with an excellent 4/30, while Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakravarthy provided crucial breakthroughs to trigger Pakistan’s 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 a crucial 33 runs.
With pressure mounting in the final overs, it was Rinku Singh who held his nerve, smashing the winning boundary to secure a five-wicket victory with just two balls to spare.
This memorable win was a fitting end to India’s dominant run, once again asserting their supremacy in Asia and delivering a performance to remember against their arch-rivals.
