[Saba Sports News] The Pakistan cricket team, led by Babar Azam, arrived in Kolkata for their match against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens on October 31. Unable to explore the city due to travel restrictions, the team decided to savor authentic Kolkata cuisine right at their hotel. They ordered Kolkata biryani, chaap, kebabs, Shahi Tukra, and the local dessert, Firni, from an online delivery app. In an Instagram video shared by the ICC (International Cricket Council), Pakistani players were seen trying and comparing the Hyderabadi Biryani to Karachi’s version.
After a two-day break in Kolkata, the team resumed training diligently in preparation for their upcoming clash with Bangladesh.
