Food holds a lot of significance in the sub-continent and is one of the things that bring Pakistan and India closer. Following are the favourite foods of some cricketers in the team
Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam cannot live without biryani. The prolific batter who ranked number one in ODIs and T20s said he maintains a strictly healthy routine which is why he takes biryani moderately. It is a diet other Pakistani players also follow since former captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who now coaches, ordered a ban on oily food, as per reports.
Mohammad Rizwan
Wicketkeeper and batter Mohammad Rizwan loves Kabuli Pulao. The rice dish has lamb, carrots, and raisins. It comes from Afghanistan's capital Kabul. The pulao is very famous in Peshawar, where Rizwan comes from.
Imam-ul-Haq
The left-handed opener is quite conscious about his diet. Reportedly, the batter only takes fruits and yoghurt for lunch. As a youngster, however, he enjoyed many foods in his hometown Multan. He loves Multan's world-famous Sohan Halwa. "I still remember having Gol Gappay," he said in an interview.
