Virat Kohli’s Birthday Cravings: A Comfort-Food Celebration From Chole Bhature To Cassata Ice Cream

A Rare Glimpse Into Kohli’s Culinary Comfort Zone  

As Virat Kohli turned 37 on November 5, 2025, fans and media revisited a charming throwback that showcased the cricket legend’s softer, indulgent side. In a resurfaced video chat with footballer Sunil Chhetri, Kohli had detailed his dream day-long menu if given the freedom to eat anything he wanted—an unusual break from his famously strict diet.

The menu, shared during a candid conversation, included a lineup of comfort foods that shaped Kohli’s early years. He began with a simple breakfast of buttered toast and tea, followed by a mid-morning snack of biscuits. Lunch featured the iconic chole bhature, a dish he described with visible excitement. For dinner, Kohli leaned toward home-style dal makhani and naan, ending the day with cassata ice cream—a nostalgic nod to his childhood.
