Reports indicate that the cricketer had barely any time to respond after the auto driver abruptly applied the brakes. This led to an accident, with Dravid seen calmly explaining the situation to the frustrated auto driver.
Many online users recalled Dravid’s famous “Indiranagar ka gunda” meme, from an advertisement he had appeared in years ago, following the incident.
While the focus of the conversation was mostly on the usually composed cricketer’s unexpected display of irritation, several others paid attention to the car he was driving. Dravid was behind the wheel of a Gen 1 Hyundai Creta, and many saw this choice as a reflection of his grounded nature.
The video sparked conversations with some users praising his practical approach to car ownership, as opposed to choosing a high-end luxury vehicle. One commented, “Rahul Dravid, despite his fame, drives a Creta. Be content with what you have, and don’t covet others’ possessions. If it’s meant to be, life will give you everything you desire.”
Others highlighted how the cricketer reinforced his image of humility: “Rahul Dravid is someone who could afford anything, yet drives a simple, modest car.”
A third user reflected on the scene humorously: “Dravid remains calm, even when facing off with an auto driver, all while driving a modest car. Is there any more normalcy expected from a celebrity?”
One user humorously dubbed the encounter as a “peak Bengaluru moment,” with commuters passing by, unaware of the cricketer in their midst.
