The Collision and Aftermath
Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid's car & a commercial goods vehicle were involved in a minor accident on Cunningham road in #Bengaluru.

According to reports, Dravid was driving from Indian Express Junction towards High Grounds when his vehicle, caught in traffic, was hit from behind by the auto-rickshaw. An 11-second viral clip captures the moment Dravid steps out of his car, surveys the damage, and engages in a conversation with the auto driver. The driver, appearing to justify his actions, attributes the mishap to the abrupt movement of a Fortuner ahead of him, which led to the unfortunate rear-end collision.
A visibly displeased Dravid, conversing in Kannada, questions the driver’s failure to apply brakes in time. Despite the minor accident occurring under the jurisdiction of High Grounds Traffic Police Station, no official complaint has been filed so far. However, sources indicate that Dravid took down the driver’s contact details before departing from the scene.
Past Legal Entanglements
This isn’t the first time Dravid has found himself embroiled in an unfortunate situation. In 2018, he lodged a complaint against a Bengaluru-based investment firm, alleging fraud. The former cricketer had invested ₹20 crore in 2014 under the assurance of high returns, only to find himself short of ₹4 crore from his principal amount. While Dravid has since recovered ₹16 crore, the remaining balance remains unsettled. The case, which also implicated five individuals, highlighted financial frauds targeting sports personalities and celebrities.
Unanswered Questions
As of now, the exact responsibility for Tuesday’s accident remains unclear—whether Dravid’s driving played any role or if the auto driver’s negligence was solely to blame. Regardless, the incident serves as a reminder of Bengaluru’s challenging traffic conditions and the unpredictability of road mishaps.
With Rahul Dravid being a revered cricketing legend known for his composure and integrity, the viral video of him involved in a roadside dispute has certainly piqued public curiosity. However, given his reputation, one can only assume that the situation was handled with grace beyond the camera’s view.
