Watch: Asha Sobhana mimics Arsenal star Leandro Trossard's celebration in Women's T20 World Cup match

Cricket fever has been at its peak since the time the coveted Women's T20 World Cup started in the UAE (United Arab Emirates), on Thursday, October 3. After three games, it was time for the Women in Blue to take centre stage in Dubai, where India Women clashed with South Africa Women.

After the African side won the toss, they decided to bat first. The decision seemed correct as the Laura Woolvaaardt-led side had got off to a flier until the seventh over. Ace leg spinner Asha Sobhana who is part of India's XI, came into the attack after an opener in Suzie Bates had just walked back to the hut. Known for her deceptive spin and flight, Asha truly lured opener, Georgia Plimmer, who was looking set for a big score, came dancing down the track in a bid to connect for a big shot.

However, she failed to connect quite convincingly and ended up handing a catch to Smriti Mandhana. Now as soon as the catch was complete, it was shown on TV screens that Sobhana pulled out her celebration which was associated with the popular Arsenal club footballer, Leandro Trossard. As a result, Asha derailed South Africa's plans to score close to 180 or beyond in their 20 overs quota. She proved most economical bowler with an economy reading of just 5.50, which is decent in the T20I format.

Notably, in the past as well, Asha Sobhana has been a die-hard fan of the Arsenal football star. In fact, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star spinner has once compared him to none other than the former legendary India skipper and Chennai Super Kings legend, MS Dhoni. Noticing her admiration for Trossard, the Premier League India's social media handle decided to post a video of her confirming her love for football and cricket equally.

"Trosaard will be coming as a finisher. He is my MS Dhoni, coming in and finishing the game. He has scored crucial goals and won us matches many times," said Sobhana in the video.

Meanwhile, speaking of the first game of India women, the Harmanpreet-led side found it hard to crack the target of 160 runs. Due to losing wickets at regular intervals, the Women in Blue ended up losing the Women's T20 World Cup game by 58 runs.
