The Indian cricket team met Manchester United players in an Adidas event at Carrington.
Jasprit Bumrah and Karun Nair were seen participating in quickfire questions at Manchester United’s training ground, Carrington, before their fourth Test match against England. The Indian cricket team had a meeting with the whole United team at Carrington.
Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, and other United players were sporting Indian cricket jerseys in the social media post that went viral.
Meanwhile, cricket players Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, coach Gautam Gambhir, and others were seen donning United’s recognisable red shirts.
Mohammed Siraj and Harry Maguire were also spotted together, and a humorous moment between them was photographed. Gambhir was also photographed with Ruben Amorim, the coach of United, who was surprisingly spotted sporting an Indian shirt.
The image, which was taken on a green field, shows both teams standing in a circle, combining two popular sports entertainingly and surprisingly.
While some envisage Cunha bowling quick deliveries, others suggest that Gambhir might give goalkeeping a try. The reason for this humorous crossover, which was made possible by Adidas, the kit sponsor for both Manchester United and the Indian squad, has drawn attention.
However, a lot of things happened during the Indian cricket team’s meeting with the Manchester players. The Red Devils’ social media person also asked some quickfire questions at Carrington to the Indian fast bowler Bumrah and all-rounder Karun Nair.
