Farhan’s ‘Gun Mode’ Sticker: A New Controversy After Gun Celebration

Sahibzada Farhan, the Pakistani batsman, has stirred up controversy again. The Asia Cup 2025 saw him draw attention for his on-field behavior as much as his batting. After a gun-shooting celebration during the Super-4 match, India lodged a complaint with the ICC. The ICC subsequently issued a warning to Farhan. Now, the player is making headlines again, this time because of a bat sticker designed to reflect his controversial celebration. The bat manufacturer for Farhan, has launched a new sticker called ‘Gun Mode’. The company shared a video featuring Farhan, where he expressed his intent to use the sticker. However, the company later removed the promotional video amid social media criticism. The celebration, which followed his half-century, had previously caused a stir. Farhan had later clarified to the ICC that the gesture was a part of Pathan culture.
