Pathum Nissanka was the talk of the town in the IND vs SL match, which was the final game of the Super 4 round. It was deemed a dead rubber, but Pathum Nissanka lit it up with a sensational century that almost took Sri Lanka past the finish line, resulting in what could have been a first defeat for the India National Cricket Team in the Asia Cup 2025. The IND vs SL went into a Super Over where India came out on top and kept their unbeaten record intact before the IND vs PAK final.ย IND vs SL Video Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: India Edge Sri Lanka in Thrilling Super Over After Scores Tied at 202 in Dubai to Win Super 4 Clash.

While praises have flown in from all corners for Pathum Nissanka, some fans on social media claimed that Pathum Nissanka made a '6-0' gesture with his fingers while celebrating his maiden T20I century. Now for the unversed, the '6-0' gesture has been in the midst of a controversy at the Asia Cup 2025. Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf made the provocative '6-0' and 'jet-downing' gesture at the fans during the IND vs PAK Super 4 match in the Asia Cup 2025 and it stirred a controversy. Fans claimed on social media that Pathum Nissanka's gesture during his celebration mirrored that of the one Haris Rauf did in the IND vs PAK Super 4 match and such posts also went viral.ย Pathum Nissankaโ€™s Six Dents Display Car at Dubai International Stadium During IND vs SL Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 Match (Watch Video).ย ย
