Gujarat Titans' Kane Williamson recently decided to take “a trip to flavourtown.” On Thursday, the official Instagram page of the Gujarat-based franchise dropped a video of the batter giving a whirl to the “Gujarati taste challenge”. Did he win? Let's find out. The now-viral video opens with Williamson sitting across a table. The task is simple - all he has to do is taste the dish and name it. He began the challenge by taking a big bite of gathiya and fafda. His first reaction was, “That's nice.” Yes he was well-versed with the names of those dishes. Williamson, who failed to name poha, said, “There is a lot of flavour in that”. He was successful in identifying thepla, which he can't stop eating. Best part? When he tried a “Jale-baby” (jalebi). Sharing the clip, the Gujarat Titans wrote, “Kane Williamson takes a trip to Flavourtown in the Gujarati Taste Challenge.”
