Lionel Messi is expected to return to India after more than a decade, with a special visit planned for mid-December. One of the key highlights may include a friendly cricket match at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on December 14. If confirmed, Messi could share the field with top Indian cricket names such as Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Sachin Tendulkar.
Messi to Visit Three Cities
The proposed three-day tour is likely to begin in Kolkata on December 13, where Lionel Messi will reportedly be honored at Eden Gardens and interact with young footballers. The next day, he is expected to attend the Mumbai event at Wankhede. His final stop could be Delhi, where another public programme is in the works. Organizers say that the initiative is aimed at encouraging youth sports and giving Indian fans a chance to see Messi off the football pitch.
