Food Delivery service, Zomato, even tweeted, “When your order From Rama Chole Bhature arrives.” It must be mentioned that Kohli had professed his love for the particular dish during a 2017 interview with Gaurav Kapoor of ‘Oaktree Sports’ Youtube channel.

However, India Team coach Rahul Dravid clarified that the dish was Kulche Chole and not Chole Bhature, as presumed by everyone. “He was tempting me with it but I said I’m 50 years old, I can’t handle so much cholesterol anymore,” Dravid informed.
