“This is our welcome to the winning team,” Pahoja said. He also noted that the breakfast menu will feature the best Indian cuisine, including the players’ favorite dishes like chole bhature. “We wanted to give them a taste of home,” he added. Emphasizing ITC Maurya’s commitment to sustainability, Chef Pahoja mentioned that the breakfast will include healthy options made with millet, balancing indulgence with nutrition. Additionally, culinary treats like fine chocolates will be placed in the players’ rooms to make them feel at home after their significant victory.
