Gun Celebration Row Rocks India-Pakistan Cricket
A major controversy has erupted at the ongoing ICC event, threatening to escalate tensions between the cricketing boards of India and Pakistan (BCCI and PCB). The flashpoint is the on-field celebration by Pakistani player Sahibzada Farhan, who, after taking a wicket, mimicked firing a gunshot towards the crowd. This act, captured on video, has drawn severe criticism from the BCCI, which has lodged an official complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC). The Indian board has condemned the gesture as aggressive and inappropriate for the spirit of the game.
