Yesterday at the Chinnaswamy stadium, Bangalore, the home team Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their match to Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 wickets. KKR captain Dinesh Karthik was speaking in the post-match interview. He was talking regarding the performance of Under-19 players in his team. He said that a lot of credit goes to their coach and that the boys always speak very highly of him. The person, of course, is Rahul Dravid.
The legendary Indian batsman Rahul Dravid is a Bangalore boy and he rose up to the greatness on the very ground of Chinnaswamy Stadium. India’s best number three batsman in Tests was in attendance yesterday to watch the IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. The cameras focussed on him and his choice of sitting stunned everyone.
The Official IPL account has posted the video Rahul Dravid sitting in a common stand with his son. Dravid has always been known to be the epitome of humility and simplicity in cricket. He is known to be the gentlemen that one should aspire to be. The gesture is winning the hearts all over the Internet.

The legend was seen alongside his wife and his son. Rahul Dravid is currently not attached to any of the IPL teams and is handling the Indian under-19 team. He was also in the contention to be one of the coaches of Indian senior team. Rahul has been excellent with his handling of teen cricketers and led them to the World Cup Victory.
Rahul Dravid was the icon player of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League in 2008. He then joined Rajasthan Royals and captained a young team. Last year, he was the chief mentor of Delhi Daredevils and has relinquished the position this season.
