PCB Chairman Stirs Controversy With Ronaldo Clip Mocking India’s Rafale Crash

ISLAMABAD, September 24, 2025 — The Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sparked heated debate after posting a video featuring football icon Cristiano Ronaldo gesturing about a plane crash — widely interpreted as a jab at India’s Rafale jet crash during the Pak-India conflict.

The symbolic clip, seen by many as a reminder of Pakistan’s celebrated “6-0 dominance” narrative, quickly went viral. Pakistani fans lauded the post as a witty dig at their rivals, while Indian social media users expressed outrage, calling it provocative and distasteful.

The move adds another chapter to the long-standing rivalry between the two nations, where sporting and political tensions often overlap and ignite strong reactions on both sides.
