What happened between Abhishek Sharma and Haris Rauf?

After the last India vs Pakistan match in the group stages, coming into this match, the tensions were already high. Abhishek Sharma delivered a six on the first ball of Shaheen Afridi, after which we saw some verbal exchange between both Sharma and Afridi. Haris Rauf came to bowl in the fifth over; during the entire over, it was visible that Sharma and Rauf were sledging each other. Shubman Gill delivered a four in the over of Haris Rauf, after which Gill also joined the verbal conversation. The entire confrontation became very heated as Gill and Sharma were face-to-face with Rauf; the umpires had to step in to separate these players from each other.

After winning the match, in a post-match interview, Abhishek shared his response, stating that this was unnecessary aggression.
