Australian cricketer Pat Cummins in Mumbai for Kolkata Knight Riders’ match against Mumbai Indians in the IPL. But he has a few days before the game kickstarts. So Cummins decided to use this time wisely and ask his followers on Twitter about local cuisine that he must try.
To my followers in Mumbai, what local dish should I try for dinner whilst I’m here??

Desi Twitter obliged and actually offered some really nice advice.
Hi Pat if you ate in South Mumbai try Baidya Miya in Coloba behind Taj Hotel @patcummins30 https://t.co/wqTgKT1Y4K

In all honesty Pat, there isn’t a traditional Mumbai dish in main course. Most are snacks like bhel, sev puri, pani puri, etc. Closest option you can try is Pav Bhaji. It is really tasty, can be made as per your spice tolerance.

But mostly, people, including news anchor Rajdeep Sardesai suggested Vada Pav.
Vadapav looks good I’ve never tried it

Sardar pav bhaji in Tardeo with extra butter!😊

Despite many protests by people on Sardesai’s suggestion, Cummins decided that it was the winner. Hey, what are you gonna do? Blue tick guys stick together, what can you do?
Think this may be the winner https://t.co/FC7H6pUUVC

Anyhow, all that really matters is that Cummins tried it and it seems like he really liked it.

But people were still telling him how he chose the right food but from the wrong place. Guys, just leave the man alone.
Right choice, wrong place – any place serving pav bhaji w/napkin-wrapped cutlery is likely serving mediocre stuff. Sardar Pav Bhaji is the place to go for – not v far frm where IPL teams r staying… https://t.co/6mdXgirjCa

And like god’s honest man that he is, Pat Cummins also gave a very nice review!
Wow, I’ve been coming to India for 11 years how had I never tried it before!?! Delicious https://t.co/QlIDc0ik4r

Cummins is a good man. You just can’t help but like him. He’s just nice.
