Food for thought at Mohali

India and Pakistan may be arch rivals on the cricket field but when it comes to food, the players seem to share similar tastes.

Both the teams are here for the eagerly-awaited semifinal match of the World Cup on Wednesday and while they sweat it out in the nets, they are also enjoying the delicacies of the city.

Shahid Afridi led Pakistan team reached here Friday while the Indian team arrived here yesterday. Both teams seem to be having common choice for cuisines served by Hotel Taj here, where the two teams are staying.

"Peshawari Chicken Tikka is a great hit with many players of both the teams. They are relishing it," Hotel Taj's Executive Chef Neeraj Chaudhry told PTI here.

He said mutton and chicken biryani was also in high demand while some players seem to have fallen in love with the Tandoori chicken.
