During the men's cricket gold medal match at the 2026 Asian Games, Pakistani bowler Saim Ayub captured attention by employing a baby cradle celebration directed at Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after removing him in the third over. Sooryavanshi had contributed 15 runs from nine deliveries, featuring a pair of sixes, before an edge found wicketkeeper Usman Khan following a fumble.

India ultimately posted a total of 211 for 6 through strong offensive efforts from Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma, while Pakistan's bowling attack saw Ahmed Daniyal and Arafat Minhas secure two dismissals apiece.
