<h2>Bumrah’s new celebration</h2>

After scalping Ibrahim Zadran (22) on the fourth ball of the seventh over, Bumrah was seen pointing his finger to the head. It was the same celebration Manchester United star Marcus Rashford uses when he celebrates a goal.

Internet did not sit back and reacted to the celebration, drawing comparisons between the star players. The United winger has been using the celebration for over a year which has seen him catch the attention of fans.

Bumrah has now attracted the attention of the world, especially Manchester United fans.

The speedster recently returned to the national side after a torrid time out from the national side. He was instrumental in India winning the Asia Cup while his primary target now is to clinch glory at the World Cup.

Rashford, meanwhile, is at the end of&nbsp;a tough start to the football season where the Red Devils have lost four of the opening eight matches in the Premier League.

They also lost their opening two Champions League matches as manager Erik ten Hag is under pressure.

<h2>Afghanistan set a big target for India</h2>

At the time of writing, Afghanistan were 235/7 in 45&nbsp;overs as they target 300 against an Indian side in Delhi. Skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi (80) and Azmatullah Omarzai (62) were the architects of the good score while Rahmanullah Gurbaz (21) and Rahmat Shah (16) also contributed to the team’s cause.

A victory for India will see them take back-to-back wins after beating Australia while an Afghanistan win will see them bounce back from their defeat against Bangladesh.

ODI World Cup 2023: What is Jasprit Bumrah's new celebration vs Afghanistan? | Know More

After losing the toss, Rohit Sharma-led India have been asked to bowl first by Afghanistan in match 9 of CWC 2023 edition on Wednesday (Oct 11). Afghanistan were off to a decent start before they were soon reduced to 63 for 3. Talking about the Afghan openers, Ibrahim Zadran departed for 22 whereas&nbsp;Rahmanullah Gurbaz (21) was looking good before Shardul Thakur held on to a stunning catch&nbsp;to send him packing.&nbsp;

Talking about Gurbaz's dismissal, it was a well-executed short-pitched delivery from birthday boy Hardik Pandya. The batter went for the shot and seemed to have timed it well. Shardul, stationed at deep fine leg, caught the ball, was about to touch the boundary rope and, hence, threw the ball in the air, regained balance and completed the catch without breaking a sweat.&nbsp;

Here is the video of Shardul's effort:&nbsp;

For the Afghanistan game, India have gone ahead with an extra pacer in the form of fast-bowling all-rounder Shardul as R Ashwin got dropped from the playing XI.

After losing&nbsp;the toss, captain Rohit Sharma stated, "We were looking to bat second. We saw the amount of dew last evening. Don't think the wicket will change much. Need to bowl well and need to come back and bat better. We were under pressure (against Australia) to start with, but KL and Kohli batted well, they were magnificent and we take a lot of pride in our performance.

Ind vs Afg, CWC '23: Shardul Thakur takes a STUNNER to send Rahmanullah Gurbaz packing - Watch

IND vs AFG weather report: India and Afghanistan are all set to clash in the 9th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The match will take place at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi on Wednesday (Oct 11). The match starts at 2:00 pm IST.&nbsp;

This is the second match to be hosted at the Arun Jaitley stadium. This match is a big opportunity for both teams. The Men in Blue will be led by Rohit Sharma who after scoring a duck against Australia in the previous match should probably bat with an aggressive intent. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan should also make the most of the chances. This is India's big chance to boost their NRR.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Afghanistan lost to Bangladesh in their first game. Their campaign gets tougher from here, though they have their bowling as an asset.&nbsp;

Both India and Afghanistan have clashed three times in ODI, with India winning 2 matches and one match ending in a tie.&nbsp;

<h2>IND vs AFG CWC'23 Weather Report&nbsp;</h2>

As of now, there is no threat of rain in Delhi on Wednesday. This comes as a little drizzle in the Indian national capital was expected.&nbsp;

The temperature is expected to hover around 36 degrees Celsius in the afternoon and is expected to reduce to 30 degrees Celsius in the evening. However, dew is expected to play a part in the second half.&nbsp;

Expect a humidity level of about 50%, with the wind blowing at approximately 13 km/h.

The wickets at the Arun Jaitley stadium are known to be on the slower side providing assistance to bowlers and spinners.

However, after the freshly aided soil, the wickets seem to have found a new life.&nbsp;

<h2>IND vs AFG CWC'23 Probable Playing XI:</h2>

<h2>India (IND):&nbsp;</h2>

Rohit Sharma (captain), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
