"You don't get such tasty food everywhere" - Ravichandran Ashwin on the lunch menu at Lord's
Speaking ahead of the third Test, former Team India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that Lord's has one of the best lunch options for the players. He stated that he even asked India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah to share the menu of the ongoing Test with him.
The 38-year-old praised the chefs at the stadium and reserved high praise for the desserts. Speaking on his YouTube channel, 'Ash Ki Baat', he said (from 2:32):
"I spoke to Bumrah and asked him about the daily lunch menu at Lord's. I want to see that. The lunch at Lord's is a different treat altogether. When we played Test matches there, Ravi bhai used to ask the chef, 'What is in it for tomorrow?'. The chef and the way they set up the whole lunch (is great), and you don't get such tasty food everywhere. It's great food, they cook Indian food, and the desserts are out of this world."The five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test series is evenly poised at 1-1. England chased down a 371-run target with five wickets in hand in the opening encounter at Headingley, Leeds. The visitors bounced back by claiming a historic 336-run victory in the subsequent fixture at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
