The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is living up to its reputation as a fierce cricketing contest, with India and Australia battling it out in riveting fashion at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Even off the field, the excitement has cricket enthusiasts glued to the action, including former Indian captain and current Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid.
Rahul Dravid, presently in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, preparing for the IPL mega auction scheduled for November 24-25, couldn’t resist following the unfolding drama of the first Test. In a video shared by Rajasthan Royals’ official handle, Dravid is seen inquiring about the Test match score.
The clip begins with a team member jubilantly reacting to Marnus Labuschagne’s dismissal on Day 1. Upon hearing the score—47/6—Dravid promptly asks, “Yeah? Who’s out?” After learning Labuschagne was the latest casualty, he eagerly asks about the bowler responsible for dismissing the Australian batter.
The Rajasthan Royals captioned the video, “Difficult to not keep up with scores when it’s Day 1 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy,” encapsulating the fervor shared by cricket fans worldwide.
