The Uber driver was left speechless as Indian cricket stars Dhruv Jurel, Prasidh Krishna and Yashasvi Jaiswal jumped into the taxi, visibly stunned by the unexpected encounter¹.
An Uber driver in Adelaide, Australia had an unforgettable experience when three Indian cricketers Dhruv Jurel, Prasidh Krishna and Yashasvi Jaiswal got into his vehicle. The driver was visibly stunned and his reaction was captured on a dashcam video that went viral on social media.
In the video, the driver is seen waiting for his pickup truck, unaware of who he will meet. After a few minutes, Krishna sits in the front seat while Jurel and Jaiswal sit in the back. The driver’s surprise is clearly visible and he remains silent throughout the journey, seemingly lost in thought. Fans understood the driver’s reaction and noted that meeting celebrities can be overwhelming.
Driver’s reaction
Even though he is a fan, the driver respects the players’ privacy and only cracks a few jokes at the end of the ride. The players, who play together for the Rajasthan Royals and are part of India’s red-ball team, look relaxed and at ease during the trip. The video highlights their down-to-earth nature, making the encounter even more endearing.
Social media reaction
One social media user wrote: “He was too stunned to speak or express.”
“Didn’t even bother,” joked another.
One person described the unreal moment as “every Uber driver’s dream.”
One person called the driver “Introvert ultra pro max.” Read one comment: “A prime example of overthinking. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity missed. Should have said hello.”
India’s series struggles continue
The Indian team, which is currently on tour to Australia, struggled in the ODI series, losing 2-0 in Adelaide. Jurel, Krishna and Jaiswal, who are yet to feature in the series, will be hoping to get some game time in the final ODI in Sydney. The trio, along with Kuldeep Yadav, will look to make an impact and help India take pride in the franchise.
