The Bengal coach revealed that the India fast bowler had not touched biryani in two months, adding, “Very few players want to bowl for 30 to 45 more minutes after a game.” He followed a rigorous diet. He just ate one meal a day, as I saw. He enjoys eating biryani, but in the two months since he got back to work, I haven’t seen him do it,” Paul remarked.
