The fast bowler of Indian cricket team Jasprit Bumrah is a big fan of Premier League side Manchester United, and he pulled out a special celebration during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Afghanistan on Wednesday. Bumrah provided the first breakthrough for India as he took the wicket of Ibrahim Zadran, and he followed it up with a celebration that has become synonymous with United footballer Marcus Rashford. It was a short delivery from Bumrah, and Zadran ended up edging it straight to KL Rahul behind the stumps. Bumrah pointed his finger towards his temple—the same way that Rashford celebrates.
