A World Cup clash between India and Pakistan is definitely more than just a game. The 13th edition of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup is underway and of all the matches scheduled for India, one of the most anticipated and exciting ones was the India vs Pakistan match that took place over the weekend on Saturday, October 14. While it was a very exciting moment for audiences in the stadium, those watching the game on their television screens also had a great time. Amid this, the competition was also one-sided in terms of the most ordered food items on Swiggy.
With more than 250 orders per minute, Biryani has once again turned out to be the hands-down winner as the most ordered food on Swiggy during the India vs Pakistan match. Food delivery giant Swiggy took to its social media handle X, formerly known as Twitter, to share some interesting numbers on the orders that it received during the match.
In a thread, Swiggy shared several numbers stating how the audiences were binging on snacks, and sweets, and even ordered condoms.
Swiggy, in one of its posts, stated that a household in Chandigarh ordered 70 biryanis in one go, further adding “seems they already know who’s winning.”
