In a heartwarming moment off the field, an Uber driver in Australia recently had an unforgettable encounter with three young Indian cricketers — Dhruv Jurel, Prasidh Krishna, and Yashasvi Jaiswal — ahead of the second ODI between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval. The incident, captured in a viral video, quickly became a social media sensation among cricket fans.
The video shows the driver waiting for his pickup, unaware of the surprise that awaited him. Moments later, the three Indian players walked toward the car, casually taking their seats one by one. The driver’s reaction was priceless — visibly stunned but managing to maintain composure as he began the ride. The clip ends with the cricketers exchanging a few friendly words with the driver before stepping out, leaving him with a story to cherish for a lifetime.

Matt Short’s 74 and Cooper Connolly’s unbeaten 61 guided the hosts to victory with 22 balls to spare, sealing the series.
