England’s Jofra Archer is seen copying Manchester United star Marcus Rashford’s iconic celebration during an SA20 match on Monday, January 23. The Man Utd star’s celebratory style which saw him pointing to his temple hinted at the mental health struggles he has gone through in the past. A Twitter user shared a post which shows a collage of Jofra Archer and Marcus Rashford doing the same celebration.
‘Rashford celebration by Archer’, read the caption.
This is not the first time that Jofra Archer has displayed celebratory style on the field. The pacer had earlier posted a picture of this celebration style by retweeting a picture shared by Marcus Rashford on January 14. Interestingly, the English footballer’s Twitter account also has the same profile
Coming back to the SA20 match, Pretoria Capitals pulled off an impressive 52-run win over MI Cape Town that day. The Pretoria-based club got off to a bright start as Will Jacks dismissed the Cape Town bowlers with a 27-ball 62. Theunis de Bruyne scored 36 while Kusal Mendis scored 29 in a mammoth total of 182 at the end of the first innings.
Jofra Archer took three for 37 in his four overs for MI Cape Town. His performance in the bowling department was matched only by Rashid Khan with 3/16 from four overs. That said, MI batsmen have struggled to get going. Apart from Devald Brewis’ 46, no other batsman was able to make a significant contribution to their run tally.
Wayne Parnell and Enrich Nortje took three wickets each for Pretoria Capital. They stormed the MI batsmen as the win took them to the top of the table with five wins and two losses from seven league games so far.
Cape Town, on the other hand, has had a fluctuating season so far. Their performances have been hot and cold this season as they sit fourth on the South Africa T20 league table after four losses and three wins from seven games, too inconsistent for comfort.
