In an exciting fusion of sports, Manchester United hosted India’s national cricket team at their Carrington training facility, creating a unique intersection between soccer and cricket.

While in England for their Test series, the Indian cricket team took the opportunity to visit United’s grounds, interacting with the Premier League team’s players and staff. The event was well-documented in lively photos and videos shared by the BCCI and adidas, aptly captioned: “United in Manchester.”

The visit began with a warm reception from senior United leaders and club legends, followed by an emblematic jersey exchange, where both teams sported personalized jerseys of each other’s squads.

From there, the event flowed into a mix of friendly football and cricket challenges, shared laughs, and insightful conversations between athletes at the top of their games.

India captain Shubman Gill took time to speak with Bruno Fernandes about leadership and mental preparation across disciplines.

“It’s very exciting to be able to meet top athletes in the world from another sport,” Gill said. “To get to know their stories is very inspiring. You’re playing two different sports, but the mindset you play with is, most of the time, very similar.”

Meanwhile, India head coach Gautam Gambhir met with United boss Ruben Amorim to discuss coaching philosophies and building team culture.

“It was a nice interaction – what his ideology is towards team sport and what my ideology is towards team sport,” Gambhir reflected.

After a dismal 2024/25 season, perhaps United will be using some of that shared wisdom heading into the new campaign.
