Team Pakistan arrived at Hyderabad a couple of days back to participate in the ODI World Cup 2023 in their swagger way, leaving the internet stunned. The video of the warm welcome by Indians has surfaced all over social media. As we know if it’s Hyderabad, it’s all about biryani. Interestingly, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has given a witty reply to former cricketer Ravi Shastri’s question, “How was the biryani in Hyderabad?”

During the World Cup Captains’ Day press conference, skippers of all participating nations came together and talked about what to expect in this star-stunned cricket tournament.

As the event progressed, Shastri asked Pak’s captain about his thoughts on the famous biryani in Hyderabad. Responding to this, Babar said, “Sau baari baata chuke hain (have answered it 100 times).”

Earlier in the day the International Cricket Council (ICC) posted a video on Instagram in which Babar gave his verdict on Hyderabad Biriyani. “It is the specialty. The Hyderabadi Biryani! And I think it is an 8 out of 10! It is slightly spicy though.”

Babar on India’s welcome

That’s not it, Babar also talked about the war welcome the Pakistan team received after they arrived at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad.

“We received good hospitality, and we were not expecting this, but I think the way people responded to us, everyone enjoyed it. We were here for a week in Hyderabad, so we did not feel like we were in India; it was like we were at home. We enjoyed and had a lot of fun. It’s good, and I think it’s a golden opportunity for everyone to give 100 per cent and enjoy the tournament,” Babar added.
