“Usko Chhole-Poori pass the mangaake aur humne Rakhha Thaa. Usne Bola Chole Puri Nahi Khawoonga (he loves the poor chhole, we made arrangements for him, but said he didn’t want it),” he added.
Interestingly, after practice, Virat Kohli had his favorite dish, Kadhi Chawal, with the rest of his teammates. “I practiced Ke Baad Purane Time Ki Tarah Kadhi Chawal Khaya Sabke Saath (Kadhi Chawal had with everyone),” revealed the official.
