'It Wasn’t Chole Bhature’: Rahul Dravid Reveals What Came In Virat Kohli's Food Parcel In Viral Video

Kohli was playing his first match in his hometown of Delhi in four years.

Star India batter Virat Kohli is a known foodie. While he completely changed his food choices to work on his fitness, whenever he gets an opportunity to have a cheat meal, he enjoys it and with second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, the ex-India captain found it as a perfect opportunity to try out one of his favourite dishes which he can no longer afford to have regularly owing to his commitment to professional sport.

Kohli was playing his first match in his hometown of Delhi in four years and he made the most of it. Not only was he reportedly staying with his family members in Gurugram, he drove to the stadium for practice and a video capturing the joy on his face when he a food delivery parcel arrives also went viral on social media.



When Team India head coach Rahul Dravid, who was sitting beside him when the incident happened, was quizzed what was it that came for Kohli, he revealed that it wasn't Chole Bhature, which was what netizens were assuming it to be, but Kulcha Chole.

"It wasn’t Chole Bhature, it was Kulcha Chole," Dravid told the broadcasters after the match.

"He was tempting me with it but I said I’m 50 years old, I can’t handle so much cholesterol anymore," Dravid jokingly said.

While Kohli didn't get a half-century in the Delhi Test, he registered scores of 44 and 20 in the two innings and looked comfortable against the spinners for the majority of his innings on a surface which was offering assistance to the spin bowlers. 

Dravid also showered praise on Kohli's technique against the spinners.

"I thought the judgement of length was really good, there was a sense of calm when he was playing which is a great sign," he said.

"These are tricky wickets, you can’t play the perfect innings and you need a bit of luck to go your way," he added.
