Lionel Messi is set to visit India for the first time since 2011, when he played a friendly against Venezuela with his national team in Kolkata. The World Cup winner is scheduled to visit multiple cities in India, including Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, starting from December 13.

While Indian fans are excited to catch a glimpse of Lionel Messi, the cost of a 15-minute meet-and-greet with the player himself has left them baffled. The organisers of the G.O.A.T Tour India have revealed that the price for a photograph with the World Champion would cost Rs 9.95 lakh plus GST.
