With everyone interested in their favourite cricketers' lifestyles, here are some notable cricketers and their favourite food that every fan should be aware of. They go to the gym to shed some kilos. They work out to stay in shape. They are constantly preaching a healthy lifestyle and have become icons for many. However, cricketers are human, and they, like us, have numerous favourites in their lives, particularly eating. Cricket, particularly in India, is a conglomeration of all things significant. The matches, the players, their lifestyle, and the celebration that follows with every triumph all get a lot of attention from fans because this is what they want to relate to after the dust settles, the human side of these on-field Gods.
You may have watched Virat Kohli run as fast as a bullet on the field or MS Dhoni slam the ball for massive sixes, but what do these cricketers eat? What is it that they eat that makes their mouth water?
If you are an Indian cricket fan, you may know a few facts about your favourite cricketer and may have tried to emulate their routine or interests. But what if we told you that you could put your taste senses to test and see what kind of flavour these great cricketers prefer in their food?
MS Dhoni
The ex-captain cool enjoys eating really hot and spicy foods such as butter chicken with naan, kebabs, and chicken tikka pizza. I can only imagine how tough it was for him to resist the impulse to consume all of these things because we can't control boss. Can we have the fastest pair of legs between the wickets by eating such spicy food?
Sachin Tendulkar
The God of Cricket, like us, enjoys good food and has several favourite meals, primarily seafood, such as Keema Parathas, Prawn Masala, Lassi, Sushi, and Sashimi. Start eating marine food if you want to shatter all the records as a batter.
Virat Kohli
The fittest and now most popular cricketer of the Indian team, King Kohli, loves to eat Chole Bhature and Sushi. We don't think Chole Bhature is the reason for his fitness and those six-pack abs since Chole Bhature is merely the reason for our family pack.
Rohit Sharma
The only player to score three double hundreds in ODIs, the Hitman has a lot of love and longing for food that every mother used to make, aloo paratha, especially in the morning, and we are still not able to hit enormous sixes like him, we guess hitman is built differently.
Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir, the Delhi kid and unsung hero of the 2007 T20 and 2011 50 over World Cups, not only gets his jersey dirty but also his hands with Rajma Chawal, and who doesn't love Rajma Chawal.
Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh, the famous all-rounder and 2011 World Cup man of the tournament, like continental cuisine but dislikes Chinese cuisine. As a Punjabi, he prefers meals like Kadhi chawal or paalak paneer.
Ravichandran Ashwin
The right arm off breaker adores the food his mother prepares for him, and his favourite meal is Paneer Capsicum. Mom's food, or perhaps paneer as well, is the source of his energy.
It is really amusing to see how these superstars are just normal people who enjoy hitting the table with delicious cuisine they love so fondly.
