The video has Tilak Varma saying, “The first thing that comes to mind in Chennai is Mahi (Dhoni) bhai, everything comes after that. Mahi bhai and Rajinikanth Sir. Thalaiva!.”
Tilak Varma continues in the video, “There are two players in the team, Varun Chakravarthy and Washington Sundar, for them, I would like to say, Varun I want a crispy dosa for breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening at Washington’s home.”
India lead the rubber 1-0 after a seven-wicket victory at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday and would be eyeing an encore of the opening game performance against a stunned England.
