In the 18th over, Bumrah clean bowled Haris Rauf with a brilliant yorker. After dismissing him, Bumrah gestured like an airplane, similar to the one Haris Rauf had previously used against India.
This celebration was widely praised by fans on social media, calling it a "showing one's place" moment.
Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan also took a dig at the incident, tweeting: "Bumrah landed the flight." This tweet also went viral, and people took it in a humorous and sarcastic manner.
Pakistan's performance in this tournament was extremely disappointing, but their players remained in the headlines for controversial gestures and childish antics. Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf made offensive gestures during matches against India.
Rauf made a fake 6-0 gesture, which was allegedly linked to Operation Sindoor, despite no verifiable evidence. Rauf's wife, Muzna Masood, also posted an offensive post on social media, which was later deleted.
In India's victory, Tilak Varma rescued the team from crisis with an unbeaten 69 off 53 balls. Rinku Singh hit a four in the final over to give India the victory, setting off a celebratory atmosphere throughout the stadium. In the dressing room, all the players, including coach Gautam Gambhir, were overjoyed.
