Rory McIlroy has caused a stir in India as he will be playing in the country for the first time.
India's most famous golfer Anirban Lahiri spoke about his arrival, noting that Rory McIlroy is a big fan of Indian cuisine.
The popular golfer met Rory McIlroy and his wife a few years ago, when they asked him for help in preparing a proper curry.
Lahiri was open and happy to help Rory McIlroy and his wife.
I mean, he's Irish, and most people from that part of the world get exposed to curries, said Lahiri, putting an accent on helping them to prepare the curry.

I wouldn't call them Indian by any stretch of the imagination. I think we had just hosted a few of our friends in West Palm: Camilo and Jamie Lovemark and Keegan and a lot of them when I was living there.
And obviously word got out that the curry was amazing, so I'm sure they would have heard.
Rory and I used to play and practise at the Bear's Club, so one of those days he's hitting balls and I'm hitting balls, and he came up to me because obviously he enjoys a good curry. I'm sure he'll get his fill this week.- he continued, as quoted by Independent.
Significant moment for India
Lahiri believes that this is a significant moment for India, as a large number of golf stars will come to Indian soil to perform in Delhi. Lahiri emphasizes that this is a great moment for both the younger and older generations, emphasizing that there will be immense euphoria.
