Muzna Masood Malik made headlines on Tuesday after she supported her husband's Haris Rauf's provocative gestures during the India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025. If the group stage India vs Pakistan clash was marred by the handshake row, Rauf grabbed attention on Sunday with his hand gestures towards Indian fans, which went viral.

Rauf, who was stationed near the boundary rope during India's chase, responded to the jeers from Indian fans by lifting his fingers to indicate "0-6", a reference to Pakistan's groundless claims that they downed six Indian fighter jets during India's Operation Sindoor in May this year. The Pakistan pacer also mimicked crashing plane, sparking outrage online.
