Footage of the moment has received over 3.8 million views and many netizens felt Kohli’s reaction was highly relatable. A self-confessed foodie, Virat Kohli has spoken in the past about his fondness for chole bhature. This led many netizens to wonder if he had ordered the dish from his favourite restaurant while in his hometown.
Food delivery platform Zomato had a hilarious reaction to Kohli’s viral video. "When your order from rama chole bhature arrives," Zomato wrote in its caption.
Later, the suspense about the mystery food delivery to Kohli was finally over as batting legend Rahul Dravid clarified in an interview what it actually was. And to the disappointment of Delhiites, it was not chole bhature.
In a post-match interview with Star Sports, Dravid revealed the truth about which food got Kohli so excited in the viral video. When anchor Mayanti Langer enquired about the viral incident with Kohli, she asked Dravid if the food item they discussed was chole bhature.

Despite laughing at the question, Dravid corrected her by saying it was actually chhole kulche. He explained that Kohli had offered it to him but as a 50-year-old, he didn't feel he could handle it.
He said, "It was not chhole bhatoore, it was chhole kulche. He was tempting me with it. I said, ‘I’m 50 years old! I can't handle that'."
