Last week, Dhoni was seen giving Prince, a Golden Retriever, a tour of the CSK dressing room. CSK have been playing their home matches at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, owing to security concerns in Chennai in the backdrop of protests by various groups for the formation of the Cauvery management board.
In a video posted on the CSK handle, Dhoni along with teammate Deepak Chahar can be seen giving the dog a tour of the CSK dressing room and as soon as they enter, he can be heard saying, "My friend is here".
