Guess what Virat Kohli had for lunch after his practice session for Delhi Ranji Trophy match. You will be surprised

It is a known fact that Indian cricketer, Virat Kohli is a foodie and absolutely used to love Chhole Bhature. But to maintain his perfect fitness, the batsman has been on a strict diet regime and exercise for years now. This means he had to let go of a few of his favourite dishes. So, when he reached the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi for practice, the officials had ordered his favourite “chhole puri”. But instead, he indulged in a different dish.

What did Virat Kohli eat?

Virat Kohli is gearing up for his first Ranji Trophy match in 12 years. He reached the Arun Jaitley Stadium for a practise session with the Delhi Cricket team. The officials at the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) knew about his love for Chhole Bhature and ordered Chhole puri. In an interview with PTI, a senior official from DDCA revealed that they made arrangements for him and had ordered Chhole puri, but Virat Kohli did not want it. But, once the training concluded, he enjoyed a different favourite food of his- Kadhi Chawal. The official shared that just like old times, the right-handed batsman relished kadhi chawal by sitting with everyone.

Virat Kohli's strict diet

Previously in an interview with Star Sports, Virat Kohli discussed his disciplined eating habits that help him maintain peak performance. He shared that 90% of his meals are steamed or boiled, with minimal seasoning—just salt, pepper, and lime. He doesn't prioritize the taste of food, explaining that he enjoys simple salads with light dressing and pan-grilled dishes with a touch of olive oil. Virat avoids curries but does consume dal (lentils) and occasionally includes rajma and lobia (black-eyed peas) in his diet, emphasizing his Punjabi roots.
