The act of sharing a meal together is a common practice during the holy month of Ramadan, which is being observed by Muslims worldwide.
It is a time of spiritual reflection and communal worship, and people gather to break their fast together before sunrise.
For the Gujarat Titans, the occasion was an opportunity for the players to strengthen their bond and celebrate their victory together.
The gesture by the skipper, joining his teammates for the meal, also shows his leadership qualities and the team spirit that is essential for a successful campaign in the IPL.
