Indian cricket team player Jasprit Bumrah paid a visit to Manchester United home ground Old Trafford, the English football giant confirmed via Twitter on Thursday.
Bumrah recently competed in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League in UAE where his franchise Mumbai Indians were eliminated after the group stages by a narrow margin.
Bumrah himself had a decent IPL season where he played 14 matches and took 21 wickets.
Next, Bumrah will join the Indian squad in UAE again to compete for the T20 World Cup.
The T20 World Cup will take place in UAE and Oman in a total of 4 venues — Muscat, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 17 with the qualifying rounds. India kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistan on October 24.
