[VIDEO] "Gesture made by one of their (Indian) players was highly uncalled for": Sarfaraz Ahmed

[Ball Blazer]

During the U19 Asia Cup final between India and Pakistan, Pakistani bowler Ali Raza showed aggression after taking Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s wicket,

Vaibhav Suryavanshi responded with a gesture, implying, “You’re not even equal to the shoes on my feet.

Sarfaraz Ahmed has opened up on the development:

"I have played against India many times as a player, but those matches were against teams that understood the true spirit of the game. Watching from the sidelines this time, I felt their behavior was entirely inappropriate. Specifically, the gesture made by one of their players—which was captured on screen for everyone to see—was highly uncalled for."

"Cricket often involves verbal exchanges; we’ve all been through it. If there is tension and someone speaks to you, you respond verbally. That is part of the game. however, the specific conduct shown by their player crossed a line and should never have happened."

"Regarding our own celebrations, I gave clear instructions to my players: we must celebrate our success, but we must do so with dignity. We should not emulate their behavior. It is vital that we uphold sportsmanship and play the game the right way."

"I told my boys to stay focused on our own performance and support one another. If the opposition chooses to behave poorly, that is their own failure—let them conduct themselves however they wish; we will remain professional."

The senior Ind team and their board created this in their fake patriotic badge kissing failure to shake hands. A gesture of goodwill that should have been taken in the spirit that it was offered. Today, we have young players creating even more bad blood.

 

[Major]

What an insult for that kid, when a senior player like Sarfraz calls you out.

I hope indian coach has a word with their player

 

[Bhaijaan]

People must be careful about sledging because it hurts the most when it’s real. Pakistani players have been trying to provoke Indian players purely out of frustration for not having won a. Lot recently, and when Indian players reply like that and have a mic drop moment they start whining.

I am no fan of Vaibhav telling Pakistani players they’re no better than roadside boot polishers to him in financial terms. It’s not good for the game. But when a bunch of Pakistanis are acting crazy after they’re finally winning a game after dozens of tries, you have got to put some kids in their place.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Look at their disgusting fans. Bet you people are going to come here and defend this lol

I don’t really see much of an issue with why Sooryavanshi did. Some players ran straight to his face and gave him verbals.

I do think Indian’s would have done a lot worse to Pakistani players had they not been belted all over the park by Sameer Minhas. You can’t really do or say much once you’ve been pummelled like that by one player.

Just take the L I guess.

Hateful feeling towards Pakistani aside, no Indian kid should be making that gesture to anybody, never mind a fellow competitor.

He carries the hopes and dreams of "roadside boot polishers" and poor people in India too.

Have some dignity and grace. Life is a great humbler.

Not true.
This is the same template from the Asia Cup. Pakistani players have been trying to poke the beer for a while now with a lot of needless aggression. Indian players response has been one of restraint. But Suryavanshi’s response could be the beginning of Indian players also taking to another level when it comes to insulting Pakistani players. Not great scenes. Take your little win and go back to hotel no need to do needless bhangra over a little win.

Thats fine brother, if he wants to show no mercy to our players from the losing dressing room after being dismissed, they will just have to learn to take it.

The first game between the u19s was played without much drama and provocation. In fact I believe there was hardly any otherwise you would see it all over social media.

The animosity in this game started when the bloke Hamza sent one of the Indian phast bowlers to the next United Arab Emirate for a huge six and holed out later that over.

India turned up that day to make some kind of show and it didn’t go well for them because Sameer was beating their tashreefs too hard all around the park. Had India ran through and had Pakistan at 150-7 or something, they would have done and said a lot worse.

Last time when was Pakistan beat India on Sunday? Talking about international cricket.

Hahaha....Who is Vaibhav by the way? Did I hyped him to the sky? Wait for some time until a competent administrator heads PCB... although current one is also pinching your side for different reasons lol

 

[Kriketer]

Disgusting reaction. Maybe he was pointing at the ground where half of his billion population takes a d*mp out in the open daily?

Looking at overall record and how easily Pakistan used to thrash India over many decades, and even after India winning most in past 2 decades and still being significantly behind in overall record tells you the story how easily Pakistan used to thrash that lousy team and could have reacted the same way by point towards their shoe over decades. It's the Sanghi disgusting mindset

Indians have no manners. So, this is not surprising.

Their haughtiness may cause them to decline gradually (decline has already started in my opinion).

Issue is, he made the joti kay nechay gesture at a time when he got out and his team was expected to lose.

It left many of us wondering whats going on with this man child.

When a senior player calls you out, that is an insult for a kid

It’s alright

Heat of the moment stuff. I’m sure he would just walk off quietly if he isn’t provoked.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Anyone defending Suryavanshi is clueless. Bowlers have every right to celebrate a big wicket, it's not the first time it's happened. He could have simply walked away or said a few words, but pointing to his shoes at just 14? That's a masterclass in arrogance. At this rate, his career might crash faster than a Rafale. He should learn from Prithvi Shaw's mistakes and concentrate on building his career first.

I don’t think he was abusing Ali Raza

He was abusing Farhan Yousuf, the guy went out of his way to go and give verbals to Sooryavanshi

Sooryavanshi was walking off knowing Ali is getting up at his wicket.

 

[NishanKonar]

Much ado about nothing

Pakistani player abused Vaibhav. Vaibhav retaliated in kind. Nothing more to it

No point crying over it. If Vaibhav did something on his own - he deserves full criticism. But in this case he was provoked & he retaliated. Fair play

Pointing to his shoes was far from classy. It shows an attitude problem, and clearly money has made him arrogant. This behavior isn't good for his career. Even legends like Sachin and Kohli never reacted this way. This is not Gen Z but Gen C of India, where C stands for Chhapri and you know the other word which starts with C.

U can be very abusive , foul tempered & still become a very succesful cricketer

Like Ponting , KP , Dave Warner , Kohli , Slater , Stokes. None of them were sweet kids in their youth

Ponting once got arrested for brawl at a night club. Stokes got arrested for assault. Warner punched Joe Root

These things dont matter as long as u r focussed on ur game

I was talking about reactions after getting out. Is there any video of Kohli or Sachin pointing to their shoes?

Grossly disagree with the attitude of Sarfaraz here

PAK boys should have given more to the the Indians

Restricting young players from expressing themselves is demoralizing

It's because of this timid attitude of Sarfaraz that his captaincy was stolen by the overrated Pak players who had & have no leadership skills.

If Sarfaraz can't fight for himself, he should at least not stop the youth from fighting for the country, especially when the whole debacle has been started and nurtured by the Indians

We already have a religious and morality police players in the adult team who miss no opportunity of advertising themselves as better Muslims than others. Cricket ground is not a field for advertising morality. Give them back the abuse, with interest.

Politics should be avoided on a cricket field unless the other country is using it as a tool because of their domestic politics. In the latter case, no country's youngsters should be receiving the "stay peaceful & professional" advice from the coach.

There is a difference between senior cricket and junior cricket. Junior cricket is less about winning and more about learning, developing and carrying yourself with dignity. What they do today will reflect in their later career.

If junior cricket of you show even alittle dissent to the umpires decision the match referee gives bans and penalize the players as this tournament is more about learning and developing

Following Pakistan’s dominant 191-run victory over India in the U19 Asia Cup final, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced that the board will formally report the "provocative" and "unethical" behavior of Indian players to the ICC

Speaking at a reception hosted by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Naqvi emphasized that sports and politics should remain separate.

Team mentor Sarfaraz Ahmed echoed these concerns, contrasting India’s conduct with the sportsmanship displayed by the Pakistani squad. The report also highlights a recurring pattern of tension, noting that during the senior Asia Cup in September, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav snubbed customary handshakes, and the Indian team later refused to collect their trophy from the ACC President, reportedly on instructions from the BCCI.

[DeadlyVenom]

reporting the kids is too far lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is nothing

In the 2020 U-19 World Cup final, Bangladesh beat India, but the victory was marred by a major on-field altercation after the match, involving physical shoving and verbal abuse between players from both teams, leading to ICC sanctions (demerit points) for three Bangladeshi players (Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Rakibul Hasan) and two Indian players (Akash Singh, Ravi Bishnoi) for breaching the code of conduct, with India's captain calling the scenes "dirty".

 

[sweep_shot]

Indian decline has started which is lovely to see.

Current Indian youngsters are very average. They even lost to BD during the emerging Asia Cup. They lost to Pakistan by 191 runs in U-19 Asia Cup. Their senior's team also became a mid-tier Test team.

A weakened India is good for cricket, good for the region, and good for the world.

In the end, these are just teenagers.

They will do and say silly things because they can't control their emotions well. It's important for coaches at these levels to rein them in a bit and use these things as teaching lessons about how you represent yourself as an international athlete.

Bangaldesh cricketers sledge the most among under-19 in my observation over a long period. Ya coaches can draw the line. Also captain can control. Priyam Garg was India's captain who himself was a meek guy. He couldn't control his team members in 2020. At junior level it often happens sometimes goes overboard. You should take it with a pinch of salt. Often it escalates when they use some really bad words say abusing family stuff like that. That is when they react sharply.

 

[Savak]

Indian's cant complain about the aggression from the Pakistani players. Statements by Sky, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Abhishek, Gill did not help. At some point in time, the Pakistani team was going to win against India and give it back in kind. When you lose and are at the receiving end, you can't really respond back because that looks really cheap and looserish.

The only thing that the kids will be learning from Sarfaraz's attitude towards the incident is to be timid

Many of these U-19 players will be on the adult team. Train them to fight the fire of abuse with fire now against the abusive teams

The cricket game at the adult level is equally nurtured by the mental aggression as much as it is done by the skills

Nothing in cricket is of amateur level now when the games are being televised. The Indians want their players to behave in a harsh way because it brings viewership at ALL levels of cricket

Train your kids now otherwise they will be timid in future or at least will have to evolve in future. The late evolution of mental aggression and retaliation takes their minds away from the cricket itself, in future

I speak from personal experience after playing U-19 cricket in Pakistan. You can't be an effective cricketer in future if you are restricted from expressing yourself against the bullies

Pakistani adult cricket team's primary purpose is to lift the nation by winning. It's not to set benchmarks for etiquette

Actually the etiquette excuse is often used to hide cricket deficiencies. People have been given, unjustifiably, the captaincy of national team just because they were nice people.

Everything is possible

It's possible that I don't understand you

It's also possible that you don't understand me

What's also possible is that cricket has moved on. No point of being stuck in the cricket attitude of two decades ago, prior to the advent of and takeover by T20 cricket

Since I have played the youth cricket in Pakistan extensively & have also played cricket with many different experts which Pakpassion has interviewed and interviews...maybe our experiences are different. Maybe we can't relate to each other's experiences.

Most importantly, may be we are struggling to differentiate between low level of youth cricket (zonal, district, city and provincial levels) with the international level of youth cricket

If your approach really still worked, the under 19 players would have been reprimanded for their behavior on the field in the final, to make example for the future. To the best of my knowledge no serious actions were taken. Because cricket is more about viewership and ratings now rather than setting standards either within or outside the cricket industry.

I agree but the Inds wanted to create the aggro to show their patriotism and the boys responded appropriately. Our guys have been far too nice for far too long. The clown Dhani embarrassed a nation of 250mn with his sycophancy( during the T20 WC) and thankfully has gone

Your approach only works when you can control the behaviors of both the teams

Hype is an industry now. Indian players are getting favorable reviews from their country by behaving abominably. Indian SM influencers are making money appreciating their behavior. Indian TV channels celebrating their patriotism and making money covering their disgusting behavior. This environment only encourages Indian players to behave more disgustingly against Pakistan, regardless of their age or level of cricket

The only solution is to make Indian players look weak in exchange of abuses. That's the only way they will stop - that is if they will ever stop

Restricting our young players from expressing themselves in retaliation is only going to cause demoralization among our youth players.

If we can control the behaviors of both the teams on the ground and reprimand all abuse, I will second the policy of serenity. But I know, it's never gonna happen because the governing body is not interested in doing so. Actually, it can be argued that the governing body wants this to happen because it hypes up the tournament/event.

This is the right attitude. Cricket is not for sissies. Australia did not dominate world cricket by being sweet with everyone

The difference is the likes of Australia, India have the talent, skills, match and game awareness to complement that attitude. Our Pakistani players are badly deficient in these areas for a long time and if they try to show any sort of attitude to the opposition they will end up badly embarrassing themselves in the process like Shaheen and Haris Rauf do 9 times out of 10.

If you watch Indian commentators like fan reaction vids etc they genuinley believe most Pakistanis are starving and famished, and live in mud huts.

They are a very brain washed people.


One of our stage drama actors should phone into one of their shoes or do a social media live with them, they will learn what banter is then.

Good point.

In fact, I have never seen an Indian player show some good sledging skills.

Now, I’m not even talking about witty or smart sledges - just some heavy Gaaliyan. I remember how Akhtar let out a flurry of some hard hitting gaaliyan in that Asia Cup that. Even though Pak lost, I still remember the look on Harbajhan’s face when Akhtar let it fly In fact, he recently complained to Akhtar jokingly about that sledge too!

Aggression and fight just doesn’t come naturally to the Indians

I understand what you are trying to say , if it were upto me i would totally ban these two playing each other at any level. The two nations do not need more 'badtameez' people. Already a lot of us. The bulging eyes , the flaming nostrils.. not good scenes. Not good examples for kids in both the countries.

 

[Forum363]

I watched the pakistan bowling innings and felt the celebrations were very aggressive and that the Indian batsmen got annnoyed.

Then I watched the highlights and saw the first couple of wickets of the pakistan batsman, the Indian bowlers literally screamed more aggressively, and more directly at the batsmen who just walked off like you should once you're dismissed.

So no excuse for this behaviour. Indian bowlers celebrated hard. So did the pakistani bowlers. Only one set of batsmen got upset and retaliated emotionally.

Issue is, he made the joti kay nechay gesture at a time when he got out and his team was expected to lose.

It left many of us wondering whats going on with this man child.

When a senior player calls you out, that is an insult for a kid

Hes a product of his upbringing and society..

Nothing more to it.

 

[guard]

If you watch Indian commentators like fan reaction vids etc they genuinley believe most Pakistanis are starving and famished, and live in mud huts.

They are a very brain washed people.


One of our stage drama actors should phone into one of their shoes or do a social media live with them, they will learn what banter is then.

Wait for the inevitable trolling..

You know, the usual delulu, kanspiracy buzzwords

 

[tiger_khan]

Hes a product of his upbringing and society..

Nothing more to it.

There is more to it

He was embarrassed by the fact that he was beaten by the pace of the bowler. He had no there response

Indians are promoting their overrated and overweight batsman because they want to divert the attention from the fact that the ball was still rising when the keeper took the catch

We South Asians take an over or two to get going because we cime from warm climate. Someone as skinny as Raza needs an over or so to ball his fastest deliveries

Raza delivered when it mattered. Pakistani coach instead of hyping up his players who performed very well and out played the overrated team, is falling for the diversion tactics. He should have been aggressive with his comments and praise of his young cricketers. He is not there just to teach civility to his young team. He should also protect them.

 

[tiger_khan]

The difference is the likes of Australia, India have the talent, skills, match and game awareness to complement that attitude. Our Pakistani players are badly deficient in these areas for a long time and if they try to show any sort of attitude to the opposition they will end up badly embarrassing themselves in the process like Shaheen and Haris Rauf do 9 times out of 10.

That's because Haris Rauf is the biggest Parchi (ambassador of Islamabad police)

He wouldn't even make the cut presently if the current regime didn't exist

Our main problem is that we are not having players making the cut based on merit. Players are playing Pakistan because of their relationships.

Actually, some people have been given important positions in the team just because they are considered more civil than others.

It's been happening for more than a decade now. Ali Azhar and Misbah are the prime examples of the issue. They were decent players but should have never become captains. They destroyed the aggressive trait of Pakistani cricket.

Javed Miandad would not make the cut in today's team because he gave back to the oppositions and the management of PCB too.

Not much of an issue with what the kid did. He's only 14 so still has alot of upbringing to do. The kid is going to grow up under constant limelight. The onus is on him and the broader Indian society to ensure he doesn't get carried away by fame and wealth.

People must be careful about sledging because it hurts the most when it’s real. Pakistani players have been trying to provoke Indian players purely out of frustration for not having won a. Lot recently, and when Indian players reply like that and have a mic drop moment they start whining.

I am no fan of Vaibhav telling Pakistani players they’re no better than roadside boot polishers to him in financial terms. It’s not good for the game. But when a bunch of Pakistanis are acting crazy after they’re finally winning a game after dozens of tries, you have got to put some kids in their place.

I always found the poor argument from Indians curious. India has 100s of millions of people living under a dollar a day. Surely, if these Indian players want to look for “bootlicking poor” they can look more inwards.

 

[chinaman00]

Grossly disagree with the attitude of Sarfaraz here

PAK boys should have given more to the the Indians

Restricting young players from expressing themselves is demoralizing

It's because of this timid attitude of Sarfaraz that his captaincy was stolen by the overrated Pak players who had & have no leadership skills.

If Sarfaraz can't fight for himself, he should at least not stop the youth from fighting for the country, especially when the whole debacle has been started and nurtured by the Indians

We already have a religious and morality police players in the adult team who miss no opportunity of advertising themselves as better Muslims than others. Cricket ground is not a field for advertising morality. Give them back the abuse, with interest.

Politics should be avoided on a cricket field unless the other country is using it as a tool because of their domestic politics. In the latter case, no country's youngsters should be receiving the "stay peaceful & professional" advice from the coach.

But agree on the rest of your points. Pakistan cricket has become a meek and cowardly enterprise where players are expected to be robots void of emotions and personality.

Let these kids express themselves and get all over the face of the Indian players. Sportsmanship, discipline and all the corny stuff uttered by people can go to hell. No decorum or respect should be shown to the Indians.

 

[TheSultan]

I’m with Sarfraz on most things, but none of this makes any sense.

Our players did give a lot to the Indians - and you know what, I’m cool with that. I’m also cool with Indians giving some too. These games need some needle.

There are lines that you’re not supposed to cross, but that crass comment by (yet another) suriya made him look more dumb. Timing is of the essence. My immediate reaction to that was - Yea cheers mate off you trot.

Sarfraz didn’t really need to say anything here, it was all perfect as it was.

I have read your opinion and respect it. You are entitled to it.

Other patrons on this forum also have the same right

Major also has the right to express his opinion and criticize others' opinions as he finds it fit

That's how civilized people participate in a discourse and add value to it

 

[Energy]

Shrewd indian posters on this thread bringing in the financial angle and subtly advocating that there's nothing wrong (in theory) with the boot gesture.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Maybe surya was saying that I kiss your feet for that delivery... Great delivery... You ended my hype in seconds..

Be positive guys

 

[BouncerGuy]

PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT RELIGION AND GOD HERE...

STAY ON TOPIC

 

[NishanKonar]

Good point.

In fact, I have never seen an Indian player show some good sledging skills.

Now, I’m not even talking about witty or smart sledges - just some heavy Gaaliyan. I remember how Akhtar let out a flurry of some hard hitting gaaliyan in that Asia Cup that. Even though Pak lost, I still remember the look on Harbajhan’s face when Akhtar let it fly In fact, he recently complained to Akhtar jokingly about that sledge too!

Aggression and fight just doesn’t come naturally to the Indians

In that game Harbhajan slapped Shoaib Akhtar for a 6 and then smashed another 6 of Sami to win the game for India. He did not around crying that Shoaib said this or that

Thats how it should be

 

[NishanKonar]

Pakistan cricket has a crybaby attitude. Always crying abt 1 thing or the other.

They dont shake hands
Referee did this
DRS cheated
Surya said this or that
Abhishek Sharma said this
Tilak Varma said this
Vaibhav showed us his feet

Like little kids complaining to Headmaster in school

Honestly we see similar stuff from the Pakistan side

" Hindus dont have fast bowlers bcoz they dont eat beef " - Aquib Javed

" Hindus are cowards , so they will lose to India " - Imran Nazir before 2015 World Cup game

" Felt proud seeing Rizwan doing namaz in front of Hindu players " - Waqar Younis

" Cricket against India is like war / jihad " - Javed Miandad

" Hindus have small hearts " - Shahid Afridi

Pakistanis often ignore the propaganda & brainwashing from their side & focus only on Indian side

Not saying Indians are saints but lets not pretend that Pakistanis are any better

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, India’s 14-year-old batting prodigy, was booed by Pakistan fans outside the stadium after the U19 Asia Cup final in Dubai. The video went viral soon after Pakistan’s dominant 191-run win.

Earlier in the match, Suryavanshi had scored a quick 26 before edging Ali Raza, leading to a brief on-field flare-up that also drew attention on social media.

Nothing wrong here. He should learn to handle hostile crowds & maintain his calm abd composure. Not start complaining like Pakistani players did after that 2023 WC game in Ahmedabad

The post was about sledging. I thought it was clear.

He did agree in a recent clip of some exhibition match that Akhtar gave him a round of some massive Gaaliyan.

Don’t understand the point of your post
