Gautam Gambhir vs Shahid Afridi and more: Top 5 India vs Pakistan controversies ahead of Asia Cup 2022 - IN PICS

In the 1996 World Cup, Aamir Sohail was in red hot form. After smashing Prasad for a boundary, he pointed towards a boundary region as if he saying 'I am going to hit you there next'. An agitated Prasad then replied him by uprooting his stumps on the next ball and then showing him the way to the dressing room. 

Shahid Afridi took potshots at Gambhir while bowling to him during an India vs Pakistan contest in 2007. Gambhir didn't say anything then but in the next over of his, collided with him which led to a long exhange of heated words between the two. 

Kiran More was continuously irritating Javed Miandad by excessively appealing. Miandad complained to the umpire about it but More didn't stop and eventually the Pakistan batter lost his cool, and started jumping to mimic More. 

Needing 40 runs off 41 balls, Inzamam-ul-Haq drove a delivery off S Sreesanth and Indian fielder Suresh Raina did well to stop it. He then threw back at the stumps. But Inzamam blocked the ball using his bat. After consulting with fellow umpire Asad Rauf, Simon Taufel declared Inzamam out for obstructing the field. He left fuming.

Kamran Akmal made an unnecessary appeal during an India vs Pakistan match in 2010 when Gambhir was batting. That did not go down well with the Indian batter and he had a word with Kamran in the drinks break which led to exchange of some heated words before MS Dhoni pulled Gautam away from the verbal spat.
