In an amazing piece of news and visuals for ardent Bangalore fans in the Indian T20 League, the legendary Indian footballer and the captain of Indian’s national football side, Sunil Chhetri visited the camp of red outfits. Chhetri joined the Bangalore camp ahead of their campaign opener against Mumbai.
Chhetri had a chat with the players and also guided them with his experience and athleticism. Notably, the veteran centre-forward is also the captain of Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League. The video of Chhetri’s meetup with the Bangalore boys also started making rounds on the social media within minutes of being shared by the franchise from their official Twitter handle.
Here's the video:

Subsequently, a section of the fans took it as an opportunity to troll Bangalore and also advised them not to make Chhetri mentor as they did by appointing tennis star Sania Mirza with the Bangalore women in the Women’s T20 League.
Here’s how fans reacted:
