The BCCI has introduced strict new rules to improve discipline and commitment among Indian cricketers. After India's disappointing tour of Australia, the board issued a 10-point directive limiting certain activities.
One of the new rules prevents players from bringing personal chefs, stylists, or staff on overseas tours. However, Virat Kohli found a smart way to get his favorite food.
According to a Times of India report, Kohli was seen talking to the team's local manager about 15 minutes before the team bus arrived after a tough three-hour practice session.
When the manager returned, he handed Kohli a paper bag containing food from a popular restaurant. The report mentioned that Kohli ate his post-session meal while packing up and even saved some food for later.
The BCCI's 10-point directive aims to bring discipline after India's poor performance in Australia. One rule states that players can’t bring personal staff like chefs or assistants unless the board specifically approves it.
