Former Indian cricket captain and coach Rahul Dravid was involved in a minor car accident with a goods auto in Bengaluru on Tuesday evening.
According to eyewitnesses, the accident occurred on Cunningham Road when the auto driver allegedly rammed into Dravid’s car from behind while it was stuck in traffic.
A video of the incident, captured by a passerby, shows a visibly upset Dravid arguing with the driver in Kannada. Fortunately, both parties appeared to be unhurt in the video. Dravid was seen stepping out of his car to assess the damage before taking down the driver’s contact number and leaving the scene.
No official complaint was filed, and police sources stated that the issue was likely resolved on-site. The incident has sparked a meme-fest on social media, with many users referencing a popular credit company ad featuring Dravid.
