Jasprit Bumrah once again took the initial wicket for India in the 2023 World Cup match against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. After Afghanistan made a promising start, Bumrah bowled a superb delivery that forced Ibrahim Zadran to play at it.
The ball straightened off the surface, catching the outside edge, and wicketkeeper KL Rahul made a diving catch to dismiss Zadran. Bumrah celebrated the wicket in an interesting manner, seemingly imitating Marcus Rashford of Manchester United by placing a finger to the side of his head.
