Former Team India cricketer Irfan Pathan recently shared a story on his official social media handle, in which he was seen having 'Chole Bhature'.

In his caption, he has mentioned that despite ordering the food item online, the delivery boy delivered it to the wrong location. But later, Air India crew members Bansidhar and Deepak helped him get one.


"I was running late for my flight because work finished later than expected. We had ordered Chole Bhature online, but the rider delivered it to the wrong location. Whenever I’m in Delhi, having Chole Bhature is a must—but it looked like this time I’d have to miss it. That’s when Bansidhar & Deepak from Air India stepped in at the airport and helped me get Chole Bhature right there! Cravings satisfied Thank you for turning my rushed travel day into a happy (and delicious) one!," read his caption. Taking to Instagram:
