Premier League and Thums Up react with posts as Jasprit Bumrah copies Marcus Rashford celebration against Afghanistan

Premier League and Thums Up reacted to pacer Jasprit Bumrah copying Manchester United star Marcus Rashford's celebration in India's World Cup clash against Afghanistan today(October 11).

Bumrah was seen imitating the England international after picking up Afghan opener Ibrahim Zadran in the aforementioned match. Reacting to this, Thums Up India wrote on their X account (formerly Twitter):

"Two stalwarts for their teams."

Rashford, in the eyes of many, is currently one of Manchester United's best players. Representing the Red Devils, the winger has managed 369 appearances, bagging 124 goals and 71 assists across all competitions.

Bumrah has managed to play 80 One Day internationals and 30 Test matches in his career, picking up 132 and 128 wickets in the aforementioned formats, respectively.

The right-arm quick is also a massive fan of the Manchester outfit. Taking that into consideration, Premier League India wrote on X:

"He’s a United fan after all."

Bumrah even visited Old Trafford in 2021 when the Indian cricket team was touring England. Following the visit, Manchester United posted images on their official Facebook account with the caption:

"We loved having Indian Cricket Team star Jasprit Bumrah at Old Trafford for a special visit."

India are currently playing their second match of the World Cup after defeating Australia by six wickets on October 8.
