In the course of this discussion, Styris posed the inquiry of whether the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala merits the pinnacle spot. Yet, the conversation took an unpredictably comical trajectory when Styris asserted he was awarding the stadium additional points owing to the 'unbelievable' momos served nearby.
While his co-commentators Lee and Smith appeared confounded regarding the nature of a momo, the erstwhile New Zealand cricketer took delight in elucidating not only the delectable nature of the snack but also regaled them with an anecdote about a memorable momo indulgence episode he experienced, as relayed by the broadcaster in a press release on Tuesday.

Lee asked Styris, “How many momos did you crunch?”, which prompted Styris to share how Mark Waugh, Michael Slater, Tom Moody, Greg Blewett, Brendon Julian, and Craig Cumming, and he once ate 200 momos in 12 hours during a 2016 T20 World Cup fixture between Australia and New Zealand in Dharamsala.
The story left Smith and Lee befuddled, as the former Australian pacer made the perfect parting remark after Styris finished his story. “I think if you see close enough gentlemen, we might see a couple of Scotty’s sherpas!”
The three cricketers are in India for commentary work during the ongoing IPL 2024.
