India squash star Saurav Ghosal, 37, who announced his retirement from the professional circuit on Monday, revealed his preferred career choice had he not been an athlete. Ghosal, who remains the only man from India to reach the World`s Top 10, achieving the career-high ranking in April 2019, is a self-proclaimed foodie. When we asked him what he would have loved to be if not an athlete, he told www.mid-day.com: “I think if I didn’t play squash, I would have played some sport. But I would have absolutely loved to be a food critic because I am a foodie. I like to go to restaurants. That’s [food, restaurants] the first thing I look up to when I go play a tournament in any city across the globe.”

Any favourites in Mumbai? “I was in Mumbai recently and went to Bombay Canteen, Bastian and Americano and all three were brilliant. Bombay has some top, top restaurants.”
