The latest CRED advertisement has caught the attention of millions across the globe as it showcases a very different side of Rahul Dravid, who is normally calm and composed both on and off the field. Since it was posted, the ad has triggered a wide array of reactions from several celebrities including Deepika Padukone, comedian Zakir Khan, among others.

Rahul Dravid, also known as The Wall, was considered one of the best defensive batsmen in the world during his playing days as opposition bowlers had to sweat out hard to get the Indian skipper out. Dravid, who was India's U-19 coach until the recent past, is now the Director of Cricket Operations at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. Dravid remains the fourth-highest run-scorer in Test cricket after Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, and Jacques Kallis.
