In an ongoing game between India and Afghanistan, Jasprit Bumrah, India’s premier fast bowler, added a touch of football to the game by replicating Marcus Rashford’s iconic celebration after taking a crucial wicket.
The moment occurred in the second game of India’s campaign in the tournament. Afghanistan was off to a decent start, with opener Ibrahim Zadran scoring 22 runs. However, Bumrah had other plans. He delivered a ball that crashed Zadran’s further plans, sending the batsman back to the pavilion. It was a crucial moment in the match, as Afghanistan was building a steady partnership at that stage.
Bumrah’s celebration, though, stole the spotlight. As Zadran’s dismissed, Bumrah showed a celebration that was Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford’s signature move. He mimicked Rashford’s hand-to-mind gesture. Bumrah is also a Manchester United fan and maybe Rashford is his favourite player currently, thus fans beleive that he tried out to pull off this celebration.
