That's Rahul Dravid in a queue with his kids at a science exibhition.
No show off;
no page 3 attitude;
no celebrity airs;
no "do you know who I am?" looks;
Queueing just like any other normal parent… really admirable… pic.twitter.com/NFYMuDqubE— South Canara (@southcanara_) November 23, 2017

He indeed is. My Didi is his son's class teacher. He is very regular for the PTM, she said and no vvip tantrums. pic.twitter.com/5beVECtmFQ

As a youngster, I once got a seat close to the pavilion. Was constantly staring at Dravid with eyes full of admiration.After a while,he got up from his seat, came to me & whispered "Don't stare at me. I'm just like you. No different from you." He became a real hero to me.

Former Indian captain always proves his down to earth persona whenever he gets a chance. There was a notable incident during India’s U-19 World Cup campaign in 2016. He was the coach of the team, which handed a 372-run loss to Canada. Afterwards, Dravid went to meet Canada team and inform them that they lost the match not because they were less talented. He said “these are the alien conditions for you, which put you behind in this game.”
