Rishabh Pant's Heartwarming Gesture For Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandes

The official Instagram handle of the Indian Cricket team shared multiple pictures of the much-hyped photoshoot. Mohammed Siraj was seen bowling to Harry Maguire while Shubman Gill and Bruno Fernandes also shared the frame.

In a heartwarming gesture, Indian vice-captain Rishabh Pant gifted a signed bat to Bruno Fernandes to wish him all the best for the upcoming season. Manchester United struggled to stamp their authority last season, and the Red Devils have a make-or-break season coming up.

Coach Gautam Gambhir is a known Manchester United fan and took to Instagram to post a story of his photo with United manager Ruben Amorim, captioning it “We are ‘United.'"
