Dravid touched by artist's gift, expresses gratitude with heartfelt gesture

In the thrilling fifth and final Test match between India and England in Dharamshala, cricket fans are witnessing an epic showdown. With India already securing a series victory with a 3-1 lead, anticipation is high for the finale.

Adding a unique dimension to the series is British painter Andy Brown, who is documenting the cricket action on his canvas. Recently, Brown shared a photo on X, previously known as Twitter, showing him alongside India’s head coach Rahul Dravid, who was holding a painting of himself. The artwork beautifully captures Dravid’s signature pensive pose seen during training sessions.

Brown twitted the moment

From appearing at the World Baseball Classic to visiting every MLB park in a single season, his passion for sports and art knows no bounds.
