Former India skipper Rahul Dravid is probably the most calm and composed cricketer that the world has seen. He is someone who has never really been involved in a controversy or in a heated situation during his playing days.
But in one of the video clip from an advertisement has shown a totally opposite side of the former batsman where he is seen showing aggression.
The advertisement left India and RCB captain in splits and he in fact tweeted, “Never seen this side of Rahul bhai.”
Dravid had been an integral part of the Indian team during his playing days especially in the longer format of the game. He played 164 Tests for India scoring 13288 runs at an average of over 52 in his career including 36 centuries.
Apart from Tests, the right-handed batsman was capped 344 times in ODIs and amassed over 10000 runs during the course. Dravid also represented India in one T20I where he scored 31 runs.
The right-hander was handed over the captaincy during the ODI World Cup in 2007 but Dravid and his troops had a forgettable time in that edition after the team had to bow out in the group stage itself. They lost to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the group stage and only managed to win against Bermuda.
Dravid might have failed to lead India to a World Cup win but has played an instrumental role in nurturing young talents at the U19 and India A level. He was the coach of the U19 and ‘A’ teams between 2016 and 2019 before becoming the Director of Cricket Operations at the NCA.
Under Dravid’s coaching, India U19 team ended up as the runners up in 2016 World Cup while lifting the trophy in 2018.
