“Yes we had some quantity of boiled and cooked food. Only a few pieces of bread had gone stale. We used to preserve cooked food, but now we will ensure it is destroyed the same night. Also, we did not have a crusher,” said Nainaba, Ravindra Jadeja’s sister.
“We could not find it in the market, but will make arrangements now. The food colours were meant to be used only for vegetable carvings and not in food,” she added.
Ravindra Jadeja is among the many Indian cricketers who stepped into hospitality business. Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar had opened a restaurant by the name ‘Tendulkar’s’ in South Mumbai in 2002. He partnered well-known hotelier Sanjay Narang to set it up and then inaugurated another one named,’Sachin’s’ in Mumbai’s northern suburbs and in Bangalore.

Ganguly had opened his restaurant in 2004. At first, Sourav co-owned the place but in 2006, he became the full-time owner of it. But that is when the Chappell-Sourav controversy was at its peak. Sourav had to concentrate on the game, on-field issues and business started dwindling, it never recovered from the jolt thereafter.
