The Indian team is currently touring Australia, with the ODI series underway. Ahead of the second one-day inernational in Adelaide, an Uber driver in Australia recently had an unforgettable experience when three of his passengers turned out to be Indian cricketers — Dhruv Jurel, Prasidh Krishna and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
A viral video on social media shows the driver waiting for his pickup, unaware of who he was about to meet. Moments later, the three Indian players walked up to the car and got in one after another. The driver’s surprised expression said it all – he was visibly stunned but managed to stay calm and start the ride quietly.
The video also captures the group arriving at their destination, where the driver exchanged a few words with the cricketers before they stepped out.

As for the second ODI, India scored 264/9 at a packed Adelaide Oval, thanks to Rohit Sharma’s 73. Australia reached their target with 22 balls to spare. Matt Short, who was dropped twice, led the charge with a composed 74 before Cooper Connolly (61 not out) and Mitch Owen (36) completed the job.
Australia had previously won a rain-affected opening game in Perth by seven wickets, with the final match in Sydney being a dead rubber.
