India cricket captain Virat Kohli had, a few months ago, admitted that he hadn't had butter chicken and naan in ages and that he missed it.
Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, seem to have a solution for the fitness-obsessed skipper. In a letter addressed to Kohli and the BCCI, and which was shared by news agency ANI, the centre has suggested the Indian cricketers should give up grilled chicken and go for the local 'Kadaknath' variety.
The Kadaknath or Kali Masi (black flesh) is local to Jhabua and Dhar districts of Madhya Pradesh. It is in high demand, thanks to its claims of having high protein and low fat and cholesterol levels.
“It has been known by the media that Virat Kohli and other players of India cricket team are eating Grilled Chicken in their diet. But due to higher quantities of cholesterol and fat in Grilled Chicken you are stop [sic] it’s in your diet and adopted [sic] vegan diet.”
