Chennai, April 10 (NationPress) In the midst of a lengthy tournament such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), the presence of old friends and familiar faces fosters a familial atmosphere within the team, which can have a soothing effect on the athletes.
It also allows players to unwind and enjoy time with friends, compensating for the time spent away from their families.
The lively spirit of camaraderie among the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was evident during a recent cooking session, where teammates Ramandeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi came together to create a traditional dish known as ‘Dim Torka’.
The playful banter and jovial exchanges highlighted the strong friendships that have flourished among these cricketers.
In the latest episode of ‘Knight Bite’ – a special cooking initiative by KKR in collaboration with TKK Prestige, the players shared their cravings for Punjabi cuisine, with Ramandeep Singh humorously lamenting, “What to do? We can't find Punjabi food anywhere.”
This led to a discussion about their common cultural backgrounds and culinary preferences. Host Kunal Kapur introduced them to a Bengali-Punjabi fusion dish called ‘Dim Torka’ - a unique preparation popular in Kolkata that merges elements from both Punjabi and Bengali culinary traditions.
What was particularly noticeable during the interaction was the effortless way the players teased one another, showcasing the deep friendship between Ramandeep and Vaibhav that has grown since their early days in cricket.
“We've known each other since our Under-19 days,” Vaibhav noted, emphasizing their long-standing bond. Later in the episode, Ramandeep humorously remarked about Angkrish, saying, “He found out there's free food available,” illustrating the playful ribbing that characterizes their camaraderie.
The players also provided insights into their disciplined routines. When asked about his morning habits, Ramandeep explained that he begins his day with warm water, followed by a specific breakfast. “Three egg whites and two whole eggs, plus ABC juice (Apple-Beetroot-Carrot), all sourced from Vaibhav’s farm,” he shared, revealing the meticulous nutrition plan that backs his athletic pursuits.
A moment of pride arose when the host referred to KKR's IPL trophy victory in 2024, stating, “The spark you brought to IPL last year when you lifted the trophy, bring that same spark in 2025 too.”
This reference to their recent triumph illustrated how the players' bond has translated into significant on-field successes, making them a formidable team this season.
