A funny headline with pun intended.
It would seem Gambhir had ordered a sumptous south-Indian breakfast.

I think we can all have a field day with poor Uthappa. For instance, if
he is dismissed cheaply by, say, Flintoff on a given morning, the CI
headline would be "Flintoff has Uthappa for breakfast", or "Uthappa is
food and drink for the English bowlers".  If he manages to do well and
become a problem for the bowlers, then "Uthappa becomes food for
thought for the English" and so on.

On the other hand, "Uthappa feast" sounds a bit much.

Cheers,

That's already been done - "Weird" Al Yankovitch sang the
parodies "Eat it" and "Like a Surgeon" I am told he is still
at it.

So English will listen to Al Yankovitch..
no actually, in 1970s, atleast two songs had the "eat it" beat , one in
uk, another in new york.
there was a japanese style or what can be termed japexploitation album
too...

i think there was a jingle for microwaves, heat it... maybe that was
also from Jackson ...it was 80s....

like a surgeon...operating alone for the very first time....
this evokes a very scary picture....

While discussing menu items: They can bring in a hot plate of
Barrington Masala Dosa for Sehwag as he goes out to bat, the dish will
be still hot when he comes back
They can also bring is paratha chili (bharat chipli) for Kaif, he never
eats more than he scores..
They can bring in Chappati aiyappa for Agarkar, he will get the duck
himself to eat with...

Atleast get some south-indian breakfast items in the jokes.
Here's a short list:
- Idli, khara-bhath, chow-chow bhath, iddiyappam, upma, medhu-vada
   and various types of dosa - benne dosa, khali dosa, rava dosa etc.
