Champions Trophy: How Virat Kohli managed to get desired food despite ban on personal chef

Following the debacle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, BCCI has put lots of restrictions on Team India players.

As per the restrictions, certain activities in the team have been prohibited. One of the restrictions put in place was barring players from bringing their own personal chefs, stylists, and staff on overseas tours. 

However, star batsman Virat Kohli managed to find a unique way to get his hands on the desired delicacies when the Indian team arrived in Dubai where they will play all their matches of the mega event.

As per reports published in some sections of the media, Kohli had a food packet delivered to him, not long after he arrived at the training venue. While personal chefs have been disallowed by the BCCI, the talismanic Indian batter found another way to meet his needs on overseas tours. 

Kohli has reportedly spoken to a local team manager at the venue. The need was understood in extreme detail. Subsequently, the manager arrived with a packet from a popular food joint.

As per reports, the packet had few boxes of Kohli’s post-session meal. While the others packed their kit bags, Kohli was refueling and even saved a box for the road.

Notably, India will play all their matches in Dubai instead in Pakistan due to the strained political relationship with the neighbours.
