Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar posted a video of himself on Friday with social media sensation Dolly Chaiwala, who was in Dubai for an ILT20 game. The former is on commentary duties on the tournament and shared a video with the social media sensation with his fanbase. He served Akhtar and former India cricketer some tea while the duo engaged in a fun conversation.
In the viral video, Akhtar introduces Dolly to his fans and he asks him if he has seen his games. Dolly's real name is Sunil Patil, a tea seller from Nagpur. Dolly went on to say that he has watched quite a few games featuring Akhtar.
Watch the video here: “Guys my good friend has come here from Nagpur. He’s famous as ‘Dolly’ Your tea was really good. Thank you Dolly and Best of Luck," Akhtar said in the video.
“You are a great bowler, it never felt like you were bowling to batters. It always seemed as if you were throwing bombs at them," Dolly said. While the tea seller was already famous on social media, he became a sensation after serving tea to Microsoft's Bill Gates.
The video went viral on the internet and gained huge traction as people of all age groups started recognising him. Last year, a vlogger claimed that Dolly charges Rs 5 lakh per appearance and stays in four—or five-star hotels. Dolly became a social media sensation with videos that showcased his quirky tea-making style.
Dolly's signature style involves wearing a waistcoat with gold chains around his neck with a unique hairstyle. His Instagram handle, 'Dolly ki tapri Nagpur' has a whopping 4.6 million followers.
Dolly has become so popular that he is now a sought-after guest for talk shows and public events. Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from Cricket, Sports and around the world..
