IPL 2022: [Watch] Tushar Deshpande becomes 'dhokla' guide for CSK teammates

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are currently undergoing a training camp in Surat ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. And of course, when in Gujarat, the players had to feast on one of the state's favorite dishes - dhoklas.

It was pacer Tushar Deshpande who took up the duties of explaining the different food items on offer to teammates C Hari Nishaanth and Bhagath Varma.

Deshpande helped them make a "dhokla sandwich" and then showed them to the fafdas. Hari Nishaanth and Bhagath Verma both seemed to enjoy their snacks.
