The celebration was iconic as many in the footballing fraternity have taken a liking to the celebration, including the likes of Arsenal forward, Bukayo Saka, Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich and more. World number one, Novak Djokovic has also used the celebration
Bumrah is not the first to use the celebration in the cricketing circles. His fellow teammate at the Mumbai Indians, England’s Jofra Archer, who is an avid supporter of Manchester United also used the same celebration during his outing with MI Cape Town in the CA20 tournament in South Africa.
Jasprit Bumrah will be looking to continue providing wickets to the Indian side as he has been out for a significant period of time he picked up a back injury in September 2022 and has been out for almost a year. He made his return to the Indian side in August 2023 where he came back for the T20 series against Ireland and then went on to take part in the Asia Cup as well.
