Rahul Dravid’s Heated Exchange with Auto Driver Caught on Camera

A video of former Indian cricket captain and current coach, Rahul Dravid, has gone viral, showing him in a heated exchange with an auto-rickshaw driver. The incident reportedly occurred on Cunningham Road in Bengaluru, with Dravid traveling towards High Grounds. A minor collision between Dravid’s Hyundai Creta and the rickshaw is said to have sparked the argument. The video, circulating across social media platforms, has garnered significant attention.

Dravid, known for his calm and composed demeanor, earning him the nickname “The Wall,” is seen in the video seemingly losing his temper. The footage shows him arguing with the rickshaw driver in the local language after the collision. Reports suggest the rickshaw driver was at fault, bumping into Dravid’s car while it was stationary in traffic.

The situation was ultimately resolved when Dravid took the driver’s contact information and reportedly compensated him for the damage to the rickshaw before departing. While there were no injuries, both vehicles sustained some damage.
