"Cricket expressions in Indian languages part 2. Today, we’re down south in Bengaluru. What better teacher than ‘The Coach’ #RahulDravid, who taught me this in #Kannada ಕನ್ನಡ ????," he tweeted.
In the video, Alex said, "England and India are playing each other. I'm on the hunt for the best Indian cricket expression. We have come to Bengaluru and we have one of the greatest players to have played the game and he's going to teach me and you one phrase in the language of the state - Kannada".
He further asked, "What's the expression?", to which Dravid replied, "Bega Odi" which means 'one run'.
