India vs Pakistan: match spoiled by rain, fans spoiled by biryani
RAIN MAY SPOIL a cricket match, but hey, you've still got biryani.
The supreme subcontinental dish was all the rage during the marquee India vs Pakistan clash at the Asia Cup. During India's innings, a picture of a family of Pakistan fans went viral on social media because they had showed up at the stadium with a whole ton of biryani for everyone.

Not to be outdone, a fan in Bengaluru went and ordered... 62 units of biryani, for what was presumably a massive India vs Pakistan watch party.

The game did not produce a result, but one can guarantee that a lot of people had full stomachs and hearts by the end of it.
With the World Cup coming up soon, the demand for biryani is only likely to soar.
