Humour

&lt;p id=&quot;p_1&quot;&gt;Legend has it that in Bangalore and Karnataka cricket, it wasn't uncommon to say, &amp;ldquo;You're a very down to Dravid, guy&amp;rdquo; instead of &amp;ldquo;You're a very down to earth guy&amp;rdquo;. Another legend from India's 2011 tour of England goes like this: Rahul Dravid had been adjudged caught behind by umpire Simon Taufel. After a quick word with Tendulkar, Dravid decided against a referral.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;rahul-dravid-shoes-l_011116103622.jpg&quot; src=&quot;https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/sites/dailyo//story/embed/201601/rahul-dravid-shoes-l_011116103622.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;rahul-dravid-shoes-l_011116103622.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_2&quot;&gt;Here's what Dravid had to say: &quot;As soon as I got back to the dressing room I told the guys I had to see the replay. I wanted to know where I had touched it. I could never have imagined it was a shoelace.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_3&quot;&gt;Legend has it that part of Dravid's preparation for the next Test at The Oval was to bat without shoelaces &amp;ndash; in hawai chappals. Happy Birthday, legend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #0000ff;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.dailyo.in/sports/rahul-dravid-cricket-world-cup-bcci-siri-fort-madan-lal-tendulkar-laxman-ganguly-ipl-mak-pataudi-lecture/story/1/8193.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Also read: How Rahul Dravid can save Indian cricket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
