From Sachin to Virat, here's the favourite dishes of Indian cricketers

Cricketers are known to follow a strict diet in order to maintain high fitness levels. With the introduction of the Yo-Yo test, the players have to be extremely fit to find a place in the team. The players can be seen sweating it out in the gym and preferably having boiled and other healthy food. Oily food, high-cholesterol food, etc, are not at all advisable by any means.
