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…”

This is not the first time that Rahul Dravid’s humble gesture became the talk of the town. According to several media records, during the 2016 under-19 World Cup, he went up to speak to the Canadian players after they were defeated to India. The then coach Dravid told them they didn’t lose because they are not talented but they played under different conditions.
