In a thrilling showdown between India and Pakistan during the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup group match, millions of cricket fans tuned in to watch the action. The excitement wasn’t limited to the cricket ground, as online food delivery platform Swiggy reported a staggering 250 biryani orders per minute during the game.
As the match commenced, the biryani frenzy on Swiggy began, with a total of 250 biryanis being ordered every 60 seconds. Notably, one household in Chandigarh even celebrated the cricket rivalry by placing an order for 70 biryanis in one go.
But biryani wasn’t the only item in high demand. Cricket enthusiasts across India also ordered over 1 lakh cold drinks to keep cool during the match.
Adding a touch of humor to the statistics, Swiggy revealed that customers ordered 10,916 units of blue Lay’s chips and 8,504 units of green Lay’s. Blue Lay’s chips took the lead in this unofficial flavor battle.
In a cheeky reference to off-pitch activities, Swiggy noted that 3,509 condoms were ordered during the match, suggesting that “some players were playing off the pitch today.”
The cricket showdown, held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, witnessed India bowl out Pakistan for just 191 runs. India then achieved a comfortable seven-wicket victory. Pakistan had a strong start, but a batting collapse led to their downfall.
The match served as a riveting contest for cricket fans and a delightful feast for biryani lovers across India.
