Lionel Messi’s India visit moved into Day 2 as the Argentine superstar, along with teammates Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suárez, headed to Mumbai following a memorable fan engagement in Hyderabad. The tour comes after a dramatic Day 1, marked by crowd mismanagement and chaos during Messi’s brief appearance at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium. In contrast, the Hyderabad event saw smooth organisation and warm fan interactions, earning praise from supporters. Mumbai is set to host the next major engagement, with authorities tightening security and crowd-control measures to avoid a repeat of earlier disruptions. (PC: HT)
