Bengaluru ordered a whopping 62 biryanis during the India-Pakistan match on Saturday through food delivery platform Swiggy.
Swiggy revealed this in a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), wondering whether the person is hosting a match party.
«Someone from Bengaluru just ordered 62 units of biryanis. Who are you? Where exactly are you? Are you hosting a #INDvsPAK match watch-party?? can I come?» Swiggy tweeted.
The tweet has gotten over 36,000 likes, with some users commenting with hillarious replies.
«That could be 6 tea, two Biryanis which someone misheard as 62 Biryanis and ordered,» commented a person.
Another said, «Well if it was a watch party.
It was a wasteful one.»
The reactions are expected as the Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan here on Saturday was called off due to persistent rain. No play was possible after India made 266 in 48.5 overs.
In their innings, India managed to score 266 runs before losing all their wickets in 48.5 overs during their Asia Cup 2023 campaign opener at Pallekele.
The formidable duo of Ishan Kishan, who played a brilliant knock of 82, and Hardik Pandya, who showcased his explosive batting prowess, played a pivotal role in helping India reach this total after Pakistan's fast bowlers wreaked havoc on the Men in Blue's top-order batsmen.
The partnership between Kishan and Pandya, where they amassed 138 runs off 140 balls, laid a strong foundation for India's eventual score of 266. The relentless pace attack from Pakistan proved to be a formidable challenge for the Indian batsmen, ultimately leading to their dismissal in 48.5 overs.
