Now, Lionel Messi beedis available in India! 

The Argentina football star recently put an end to his long wait for an international trophy, having won the Copa America after defeating Brazil in the final.

Lionel Messi’s picture on a beedi packet has gone viral after a Twitter user posted the picture of the packet with a hilarious statement calling it his ‘first endorsement in India’. The beedi called ‘Messi Biri’ has definitely used the right marketing as the product is the most viral image of the day.

One Twitter user also shared another image of the Portugese footballer Christiano Ronaldo on one of the local beedi packets:

And no, Messi didn’t actually sign up for beedi companies in India. He is also not the first footballer to have an image on the smoke packets. The phenomenal lung power of these footballers seems to attract beedi companies to post their picture as an example on their product packets.
