Former India cricketer Rahul Dravid was performing the role of teacher to British High Commissioner in India. Alex Ellis shared this video on Twitter of his communication with the former India skipper.
Former cricketer Rahul Dravid has transformed into a Kannada teacher. In a viral video, Rahul Dravid taught the local language Kannada to the British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis, during the India vs England Test series.
Well, it's not a full-time job, but he indeed got an opportunity to teach a word in the local language to an Englishman. The diplomat shared this video on Twitter. In the 29-seconds-long clip, Alex Ellis was learning a Kannada word. He obtained the help of Team India head coach Rahul Dravid to help him learn a new language.
In the video, Rahul Dravid taught the diplomat a phrase in Kannada - "Bega Odi" or "run fast". The video has garnered over 1 lakh views and numerous comments.
Alex Ellis is interested in cricket-related phrases and also tasted some popular regional dishes of India. Last week, he shared a video where he was seen enjoying a dosa - first with proper cutlery and then with his hands - to decide which way worked better. Take a look.
