LSG vs KKR Live Update: As disclosed by Mohammad Nabi of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he and fellow Afghanistan player Rashid Khan once ended up hungry for 35 hours while travelling from Dubai to Scotland.

Today is Eid-Ul-Fitr, the festival that marks the conclusion of Ramadan. It is being celebrated throughout the globe. On this occasion, the IPL club Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) released a video on its social media accounts in which Nabi discussed the challenges of being a sportsman during Ramazan.

When asked about the hilarious event in which he had to fast for 35 hours, Afghanistan’s T20 captain responded as follows:

“Once, I was traveling to Scotland with Rashid Khan on a flight from Dubai. We kept an eye on Roza for 35 hours.”

He went on to explain the reasoning for the decision, saying:

“As we arrived in the morning, we were unaware that the sun sets in that part of the world as late as 10 PM. Even though we woke up, the sun had not set. Those 35 hours were really taxing on my body.”

A holy month of happiness, hard work and worship! 💜

LSG vs KKR Live Update: “If you are mentally and physically strong, you will be able to do the task effortlessly.” – Nabi, about keeping an eye on Roza while playing cricket

In the video, the 37-year-old also discusses how he manages to keep an eye on Roza while still being actively engaged in cricket.

“It is our responsibility to fast throughout the month of Ramzan. During the hours of 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., we are not permitted to drink water or consume any food,” Nabi said.

He went on to describe his workout regimen with the Kolkata Knight Riders during the fasting month, saying:

“I arrive an hour early. Following that, we head to the ground for our net sessions. I pray on the ground whenever and wherever I am able. After that, I break my Roza’s fast and eat my meal. From 1 a.m. until 3 a.m., I go to the gym for two hours every day. Take a shower and drink plenty of water. The next morning, at 4 a.m., I eat breakfast and then go back to keeping my fast.”

Despite acknowledging that it is difficult, the all-rounder believes that having a good mental attitude makes a significant difference. He made the following statement:

“We don’t go through life without experiencing anything. We are experiencing weakness. But we must endure it. A large number of players approach me and inquire, ‘How do you do it, Nabi Bhai?’ Simply put, I tell them, “Anything is possible if you have a strong mental commitment.”

He concluded by speaking about fasting and exercising at the same time:

“I train in the same manner as any other athlete. No one can tell that we are keeping our Roza. Coaches inquire as to my well-being. I respond affirmatively. I’m filled with pride and happiness. You can make your mind stronger if you practice it. Even players perform admirably when they are observing their Roza. Providing that you are intellectually and physically fit, it should be rather simple.”
