Shedding light on why eating right is more important than working in the gym for hours, he said, "The basic challenge that I felt in terms of fitness is food.

I am not a big fanatic about the taste of food, I don’t care about the taste. Salads, I enjoy with a bit of dressing. Pan-grilled is good with a bit of olive oil or whatever. No curries, I only eat dal (lentils), but no masala curries. I do, however, eat rajma and lobhiya; as a Punjabi can’t skip them,” he told Star Sports during his England Test Series."
