Cricket is the most popular game in sub-continent countries such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. The success of the sport makes cricketers the best-paid athletes in their nations. Money and fame help them to fulfill their dreams easily. Some cricketers who are hardcore foodies in their lives break into the restaurant business to cater to people who are in love with food.&nbsp;

There was a time when cricketing legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Virender Sehwag were active in the restaurant business to earn money. However, their restaurants became a thing of the past as their business ventures failed drastically. In the initial days, their restaurants attracted a lot of folks due to their popularity but after a few years, their business started fading. In recent years, some more cricketers have involved themselves in the restaurant business. So far, they are doing well in this new field as cricket supporters who are fond of food have given love to their restaurants.

<p>In a conversation with a media person once, Kohli said "Our main focus was to experiment with all sorts of greens &amp; grains and turn them into dishes that are not only healthy and light but also packed with bold flavours.

You’ll find the menu pleasantly vegetarian-friendly - retaining a promise of refinement in plates inspired by global taste buds.</p>

<p>Cricket is the most popular game in sub-continent countries such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. The success of the sport makes cricketers the best-paid athletes in their nations. Money and fame help them to fulfill their dreams easily. Some cricketers who are hardcore foodies in their lives break into the restaurant business to cater to people who are in love with food.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There was a time when cricketing legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Virender Sehwag were active in the restaurant business to earn money. However, their restaurants became a thing of the past as their business ventures failed drastically. In the initial days, their restaurants attracted a lot of folks due to their popularity but after a few years, their business started fading. In recent years, some more cricketers have involved themselves in the restaurant business. So far, they are doing well in this new field as cricket supporters who are fond of food have given love to their restaurants.</p>
