After fining Haris Rauf, will ICC take action against Jasprit Bumrah for this gesture?

In the Asia Cup 2025 final at the Dubai International Stadium, Pakistan started strong with the bat before India’s bowlers pulled things back during the middle overs. But beyond the cricket, a fresh controversy unfolded when Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Haris Rauf in the 18th over and celebrated in a rather unusual fashion.

Bumrah, after cleaning up Rauf with a trademark yorker, mimicked the ‘jet down’ celebration. The gesture immediately drew comparisons with Haris’s own celebration from September 21, when he pointed towards the skies, hinting at Pakistan’s win in the war — symbolically linking it to the 6 Indian jets downed during the Pahalgam post-tensions. On that occasion, the ICC took notice and fined Haris 30% of his match fees.

This time, however, it was Bumrah who ended up on the wrong side of online reactions. Instead of being hailed, the Indian pacer has found himself at the centre of trolling from Pakistani fans, who see his act as a clumsy imitation that backfired. Many argue that what was once Haris’s original and symbolic gesture has now been reduced to mockery, with Bumrah “humiliating himself” by trying to copy it.

Should the ICC fine him for bringing politics into sport?

That wasn't mimicking the 'Jet Down' celebration, it was our missiles hitting Pak celebration, and unlike Pakistan we have video proofs amongst other things, so Bumrah is factually correct.

Regarding fine, who cares.

Pakistan's win?? When, where??

 

[Hitman]

Go ahead and fine him. Neither he nor any Indian fan cares. In fact I thank him for doing that gesture. It was a retaliation.

 

[Devadwal]

Who care about fine . It was beautiful celebration by Boom boom Bumrah. I'm proud off him

 

[hks222]

Rauf brought it on himself.

You sledge or negotiate from a position of strength.

Can't do these antics when you're getting pounded .

 

[Hitman]

In fact I'm willing to pay his fine from my own pocket.

 

[hks222]

I'm pretty sure Indians would have been timid as well had we been all over them after 16th over.

 

[hks222]

In fact I'm willing to pay his fine from my own pocket.

It isn't about paying a fine - if you're not good enough in your core job. These things do not matter.

Captain clueless also made so much non-sense about handshake thing. It would not have mattered had we pounded India hard.

 

[shah9425]

This is useless and stupidity

You have to beat them on field

 

[hks222]

Anyways.

Whatever your "SKY" says. The match-up is pretty much there in T20I between two teams.

We've had some close encounters more recently in T20

Although it started from 2007 T20WC.

2021 - Pakistan won.

2022 Asia Cup - India won in last over and next game Pakistan won a thrilling chase.

2022 WC: Kohli pulled off insane chase.

2024 World Cup: We were actually winning that one until a collapse.

2025 Asia Cup: First two games were one-sided but the final was pretty much 50-50.

 

[straighttalk]

As the esteemed Pakistani journalist called out..sometimes it's five sometimes six and sometimes at UN it's seven..the paksitanis haven't aligned on their lies...whole world knows that an air force that can down seven jets in 20 mins don't have their air bases blown up like eunuchs..but who will make their awam ask these questions

 

[Rana]

Who cares?

It’s all good.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think even us Pakistani fans at the match thread had a laugh when Bumrah did it.

Seems light hearted banter and not political.

There is no need to sensationalise everything. On a sports field emotions will spill out, players cannot be expected to be robots.

 

[Sachin fan]

Probably yes, they will fine Bumrah. They did fine the indian captain after all.

So your examples are when India won?

I love to remind people that a better team doesn't mean they will never be in trouble, it means they will find a way to win still.

The invincible Aussies didn't just thrash every team. They were often in trouble..they won a world cup semi final with a tie and went on to win the final. They needed a gillispie 200 to win a test against Bangla. They needed Kamran to miss run outs to win against Pak at home when they were 8 down.

One off loss in last decade and a half with some close matches is a sign of dominance

 

[Hitman]

Probably yes, they will fine Bumrah. They did fine the indian captain after all.

I'm pretty sure Bumrah himself knew it beforehand that he will be fined, LOL.

 

[PakPremi]

No they will not fine him, and they only fined SKY because they wanted to fine Pakistanis to satisfy BCCI.

Bumrah making fun of his own air force rofl

 

[GoogleToggle]

lol Kuch bhi

 

[pillionrider]

If they fine Bumrah, Rauf is due another fine because he did it again

 

[Master Blaster]

I think he did a Bumrahous there.

Don't think ICC will fine for a real event.
