Overview
- Tendulkar uploaded an Instagram video showing him prepare green tea with a tea bag and captioned it, “A cup of tea has been part of more innings than most people realise.”
- In the clip he says he has made his own tea every morning, including during his playing days, because he preferred quiet and did not want people entering his room before matches.
- Mainstream outlets picked up the post and the video quickly went viral, drawing widespread positive responses that highlighted his simple, relatable routine.
- Former India all‑rounder Irfan Pathan commented “Chai is love” and many fans praised his humility while at least one user raised a health concern about tea bags.
- The item remains a human‑interest viral moment that reinforces how small, personal posts by a high‑profile athlete can generate large public engagement without any further developments.
