Personal life

Kaur admits to being "... not at all good at cooking."[64] Her favourite meal is dal, or anything gravy-based, and she eats non-vegetarian food only when eating out. During overseas tours, she is often served sandwiches, which she finds "challenging".[64] Prior to matches, she eats light; after them, she has a heavy meal, "... to make up for lost calories."[64] Since about 2019, she has avoided eating glutens, even though foods containing such proteins are traditionally popular in Punjab. In 2021, she told ESPNcricinfo:

"That decision has paid off massively as my recovery post-match or post-injury has become quicker.[64]
