The video was shared by the official Instagram handle of Chennai Super Kings. MS Dhoni has been captaining the CSK since the inception of IPL in 2008. In the clip, we can see Dhoni dressed in his jersey, and walking up to what seems to be the venue's pantry area. The staff member then hands him over a cup of tea. The CSK captain gladly accepts it and starts walking away from the stall. We can also spot a bottle of what seems to be a cold drink in his other hand. "All we need is some Thala Positivitea!" read the caption of the post. Watch the video here:
