Favourite food items of top Indian, Pakistani cricketers

Both Pakistanis and Indians cannot wait for the highly-anticipated cricket clash between the two teams on August 28  in Asia Cup, Khaleej Times found out the favourite foods of star cricketers from both teams. 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

Babar Azam

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.
