IND vs PAK: Saim Ayub Taunts Vaibhav Sooryavanshi With 'Rocking Baby' Celebration During Asian Games Gold Medal Match | Video
Saim Ayub's celebration after dismissing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became one of the talking points during the India-Pakistan men's cricket gold medal match at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The Pakistan all-rounder got the prized wicket of India's teenage opener during the high-profile final and followed it up with a rocking baby celebration. Ayub's animated reaction immediately grabbed…
Abhishek Sharma expressed visible frustration following Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's dismissal during a brief but explosive cameo in the IND vs PAK Asian Games final. The 15-year-old smashed two sixes in his nine-ball stay, displaying a strong attacking approach. However, his aggressive play eventually led to his downfall against Saim Ayub.
Ayub bowled a quicker delivery, which Vaibhav attempted to play a reverse sweep, but the ball caught the edge on its way to the wicketkeeper. Usman Khan initially fumbled the catch but managed to complete it after a couple of nervous juggles. Abhishek immediately showed his disappointment with the shot selection, gesturing towards the teenager and pointing him towards the dressing room as he walked back to the pavilion.
The reaction highlighted Sharma's frustration at losing a promising partner in such a manner. Although Vaibhav had already shown his ability to change the momentum of the innings with his clean hitting, the reverse sweep proved to be a risky gamble that did not pay off. Given the high stakes of the game, Sharma was not happy with the teenager's shot.
