Since the Pakistan team’s landing in India after seven years, news stories about the reception of the players and their enjoyment don’t seem to stop. The hospitality from India which also includes the world-famous Hyderabadi biryani have been enjoyed by the players a lot and they have been asked about the same several times that Pakistan skipper Babar Azam hilariously forced the conversation to stop.

Ahead of the ODI World Cup opener, the captains of each team met at the Captain’s Day event. The captains were questioned on various topics and when it came to Babar’s chance, the questions were not without those of the team’s spending some quality time in Hyderabad.

Former India cricketer and renowned commentator Ravi Shastri brought up the Biryani question. He asked: “How was the biryani in Hyderabad?“. Shastri’s question prompted laughter and Babar, after laughing for a while answered: “Sau baari baata chuke hain (have answered it 100 times).”
