Watch: Rahul Dravid ‘coach’ Kannada to British High Commissioner Alex Ellis

After his return to India from Sri Lanka, Rahul Dravid was seen paying a visit to British High Commisioner to India Alex Ellis in Bengaluru.

Former India captain and head of National Cricket Academy (NCA) Rahul Dravid has been taking his coaching stint with the Indian limited-overs side very seriously. Dravid had a moderately successful short stint with the Team India in Sri Lanka, winning the ODI series but losing a closely fought T20 series 1-2. After his return to India from Sri Lanka, Dravid was seen paying a visit to British High Commisioner to India Alex Ellis in Bengaluru. Ellis posted a video on social media, showing how Drawvid taught him a phrase from the Kannada language, “Bega Odi”, which means ‘one run’. Ellis said Dravid was one of the best players to have played the game. Alex Ellis took to his Twitter handle to share the video. The post read as, “Cricket expressions in Indian languages part 2. Today, we’re down south in Bengaluru. What better teacher than ‘The Coach’ #RahulDravid, who taught me this in #Kannada”.
