India's ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah hit back at Pakistan's Haris Rauf days after his highly controversial gesture towards Indian fans.

The incident took place at the 17.5 overs mark in the first innings of the Asia Cup final in Dubai. Bumrah cleaned up Rauf with a full delivery and dismantled the off stump.

This was just a couple of balls after Rauf had edged one to the boundary while he looked to take on the Indian bowlers after a middle-order collapse in the Asia Cup final.

Following his wicket, the Indian pacer imitated a jet crashing down in response to the Rauf's '6-0' celebration.

Rauf's '6-0' gesture was a taunt towards the Indian fans regarding Pakistan media's disputed claim, implying their army took down 6 Indian aircraft as India tried to respond to the Pahalgam terror attack.

The Pakistan pacer was later fined 30% of his match fee after he met Richie Richardson for ICC's official hearing on Friday.

Kuldeep Yadav was India's pick of the bowlers with 4/30 in his quota of 4 overs as India looks to make it 3-0 in the competition against Pakistan.
