Hyderabad: The Pakistan cricket team, currently in Hyderabad, has been seen enjoying biryani on multiple occasions. After tasting Hyderabad biryani, they compared it with Karachi biryani.
Except for Pakistan batsman Imam-ul-Haq and captain Babar Azam, the other cricketers feel that Hyderabad biryani is better than the one from back home in Karachi.
Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq said that both are delicious, and one cannot be rated higher than the other. Babar further mentioned that Hyderabadi biryani is a bit spicier. However, pacer Hasan Ali and other cricketers rated Hyderabadi biryani higher than Karachi biryani.
