Amidst the intensity, Faf du Plessis, the esteemed cricketer and captain, has steered the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team to an impressive tally of 12 points. However, it's not all work and no play for the ace cricketers. Recently, the RCB team, including captain Virat Kohli, enjoyed a mouthwatering Biryani feast at teammate Mohammed Siraj's home.

The team took a well-deserved pitstop to relish the delectable Hyderabadi Biryani. The official RCB Twitter handle shared glimpses of the gathering, showcasing the camaraderie and joy as they savoured the flavoursome treat. The caption read, "Hyderabadi Biryani time!

It looks like the boys had quite a royal affair! Biryani seems to be the favourite of many celebs. Just recently, Nigerian singing sensation Divine Ikubor, professionally known by his stage name Rema and known for his chart-topping hit "Calm Down," also expressed his longing to indulge in a plateful of Hyderabadi biryani. He was in India recently for a 3-city tour that ended with an electrifying performance in Hyderabad. Read more about it here.

Coming back to RCB, Virat recently let us into the lighter side of their practices with the team, wherein he gave us a snippet of all the fun that the players have off the field during the IPL. In a light-hearted moment, he shared a picture alongside his teammate Dinesh Karthik and coach Basu Shanker, with a humorous foodie twist.

Amidst the training session, the coach extended a tempting treat of a cheese pocket to the two players. While Kohli adhered steadfastly to his nutritional regimen, politely declining the offer, Karthik seemed to have some other thoughts. "Trainer test. Basu sir - do you want a cheese pocket? Me - no way, dk - *drool emoji*," wrote Virat Kohli in the tweet. Take a look:

That is some fun banter, we must say! Thursday night heralds a crucial match for Virat Kohli and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team as they gear up to face Sunrisers Hyderabad at the renowned Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
