MS Dhoni, the Indian cricketing superstar, enjoys football and has been frequently spotted training with Chennaiyin FC, which he co-owns in the Indian Super League.
A few days ago, the 7-time Ballon d’Or winner also sent a signed jersey to Jay Shah, the Secretary of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Former Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha took to Instagram to express his appreciation for the gift, posting a photo of himself with Shah holding the jersey.
The Argentina Football Association recently released an advertisement thanking Lionel Messi for his heroics at the FIFA World Cup 2022 held in Qatar. The commercial shows a young boy opening Christmas presents under the tree and receiving the World Cup trophy. He picks up the trophy and says, ‘Gracias Papa Noel,’ before kissing it. In Argentina, Santa Claus is known as Papa Noel, but the name has been altered to honour Lionel Messi.
