Upon arriving in Kolkata for their crucial ODI World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh, the Pakistan cricket team decided to forego the hotel cuisine, instead opting for the city’s renowned biryani via an online food delivery service.
The team’s recent string of losses in the tournament has put their semifinal hopes in jeopardy, necessitating a winning streak in their remaining matches.
Although they had begun the competition on a strong note by defeating Netherlands and Sri Lanka, subsequent losses to India, Australia, Afghanistan, and South Africa led to this culinary exploration.
The team’s choice to sample Kolkata’s biryani was met with excitement, and the order, which included biryani, kebabs, and chap, was placed through an online platform.
Shadman Faize, the Director of Zam Zam Restaurant, shared that they initially didn’t know the order was from the Pakistan cricket team but later discovered its origins.
He expressed hope that the team enjoyed their meal, highlighting Kolkata’s unique biryani style, famous worldwide, and welcoming people of all nationalities to savor the local cuisine.
