Discussing his dietary approach, the cricketer explained that he prioritizes mindful eating over completely eliminating certain foods. He said he controls his portions and limits sugar intake, though he does not avoid it entirely.

Rahul shared insights into his daily eating habits, explaining what keeps him energized both on and off the field. He begins his mornings with a breakfast that balances comfort and nutrition. When at home in India, he often enjoys dosa alongside eggs or bhurji, typically having dosa about six days a week, paired with some form of egg preparation such as egg dosa or plain dosa with bhurji.
