Chandigarh, April 15 (IANS) In a delightful culinary crossover celebrating Poila Baisakh (Bengali New Year), KKR's cooking show 'Knight Bite' featured South African cricketers Quinton de Kock and Anrich Nortje alongside Indian star Manish Pandey for a special fusion cooking session ahead The episode showcased the cricketers trying their hand at preparing 'paturi' - a traditional Bengali dish where fish or prawns are wrapped in banana leaves and grilled - but with a South African twist using peri-peri marinade.

When asked about his kitchen experience, Quinton de Kock surprised everyone with his response, "I live in the kitchen back home. My wife chills, I do all the cooking." The South African wicketkeeper seemed quite comfortable with the cooking process, even as his teammate Nortje admitted it was his 'first time in the kitchen in a very long time'.
