Rahul Dravid, the head coach of Team India, voted on Friday in Bengaluru. Dravid was spotted in Dollar's Colony, which is part of the Bengaluru North constituency, waiting in line with locals despite having a devoted fan base. The former Indian captain was seen in a video that is currently making the rounds on social media, waiting for his time to cast a vote. He would go with shorts and a casual blue polo t-shirt. In the second phase of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections, thirteen states and eighty-eight seats are up for election.

Fan's share love for the simplicity  

A fan posted a video on social media platform X (previously Twitter) with the remark, "My man casually stepped out in shorts to vote, like any other normal man," alluding to Rahul Dravid's simplicity and humility. Who would have thought that this man was the Indian cricket team's coach?

Many cricket fans were drawn to the post and left their opinions in the comments. With no delay, one of them acknowledged, "The reason I admire him more than Sachin sir." "It's really great to see someone in such a prominent position keeping things genuine and grounded," said a different user. It is true that simplicity exudes the coolest feelings.

Elections and Dravid's message

Following his exit from the voting booth, Rahul Dravid addressed the youth of India with a stirring speech. Rahul stated, that this is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate our democracy and engage in it, during a conversation with the media. The arrangements are excellent, and the police have done a tremendous job. It is my wish that Bengaluru sets a new record for the highest voter participation. Everyone should come out, including you, and the media should inform the public so that enough discussion is had on this issue and people may show up in large numbers.

Dravid's second inning!
