Arshdeep Singh-inspired garba step dedicated to Pakistan goes viral after Asia Cup win, watch video

A video of fans performing the garba step that inspired Arshdeep Singh’s plane gesture head-tilt celebration has gone viral on social media. In a clip from the tournament, Arshdeep was seen signaling to the crowd, forming an airplane with his hands and crashing it into his bottom — a sharp retort to Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf, who had repeatedly taunted the Indian crowd with a plane crash reference.


India capped off a perfect Asia Cup campaign, going unbeaten to lift the trophy. In the Super Four stage, they overwhelmed Pakistan by six wickets, fueled by a fiery 74 off 39 balls from Abhishek Sharma and steady support from Shubman Gill.


The final proved dramatic as Pakistan looked dominant at 113/1 before suffering a stunning collapse, losing their last nine wickets for just 33 runs to be bowled out for 146. Kuldeep Yadav spearheaded the bowling attack with 4/30, while Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakravarthy delivered crucial breakthroughs to trigger Pakistan’s downfall.

Chasing 147, India stumbled early, falling to 20/3, but Tilak Varma steadied the innings with a composed 69 off 53 balls, sharing a vital 60-run partnership with Shivam Dube, who contributed 33 runs. With the pressure mounting in the final overs, Rinku Singh held his nerve, hitting the winning boundary to secure a five-wicket victory with just two balls to spare.
