"Where To Get Bread Pakora...": Virat Kohli Reveals His Unique Concerns On Birthdays While Growing Up

Virat Kohli is now a super-star in world cricket. Along with batting brilliance, his fitness regimen and dietary is exemplary. In a recent interaction, Kohli has talked in detail about his diet plan. "90 per cent of my food is all steamed, boiled. No masala. Salt and pepper, lime, that's how I eat. I am not a big fanatic about the taste (of food), I don't care about it (the taste). Salads I enjoy with a bit of dressing every now and then. Pan-grilled with a bit of olive oil or whatever. No curries, I only eat daal (lentils). I would eat rajma and lobhiya as a Punjabi can't skip it. I would eat daal (lentils) but no masala curries," Kohli said in the video. 

However, while growing up in Delhi, Kohli's dietary habits were completely different. He was recently asked about his birthdays while growing up and he have an interesting insight. 

"I never had any theme on my birthdays. Our only concern was where to get the bread pakoras from, burger, patties etc. We used to have patties with pumpkin sauce. I used to have boiled corn to with red chatni (type of sauce). Once I had so much of those, that I had stomach ache for five days, " Kohli said in an interaction on Star Sports.
