Foodies recently celebrated International Burger Day 2024. To mark the occasion, popular food delivery platform Swiggy chose to use a special photo on X. The brand reshared an old photo that ace Indian cricketer Virat Kohli had posted on the social media platform in 2016. In the picture, a young boy can be seen biting into a burger. In front of him, a plate with more burgers is kept on a table. Virat captioned it, "Throwback to a time when I would eat everything. No wonder I turned into a chubby boy. Feasting on burgers in this." Swiggy gave the post its own twist, writing, "Sometimes you eat one good burger and think about it for the rest of your life! Happy burger day."
