Known for his incredible speed that troubled many batsmen during the 1990s, Srinath is just as celebrated for his humble personality off the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>A recent image of him using the Bengaluru Metro has gone viral, showcasing him as an everyday passenger with a trolley bag in tow. The heartfelt responses from fans highlight their admiration for Srinath&#8217;s modesty. Despite his fame, he prefers public transport, which has only increased the respect his supporters have for him.<\/p>\n<p>In the photo, Srinath is seen standing casually in blue jeans and a light blue shirt. Many fans quickly shared their own stories, noting that they often spot him in Bengaluru living life without flaunting his status as a former Indian cricketer.<\/p>\n<p>Fans also remarked how this humble spirit seems common among Karnataka cricketers, mentioning other legends like Rahul Dravid and Venkatesh Prasad who are known for their simplicity in public.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Srinath&#8217;s unpretentious nature has made headlines. Previously, a fan shared a photograph of him at the Mysuru railway station, patiently waiting for a train with a bag slung over his shoulder. His ability to blend in as an ordinary citizen, without any fuss, has garnered him significant praise online.<\/p>\n<p>While the exact timing of the recent photo hasn&#8217;t been confirmed, Srinath has left a lasting impact during his career, playing 67 Tests and 229 One Day Internationals for India. After retiring, he continued to contribute to cricket as an ICC match referee.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Indian fast bowler and cricket legend, Javagal Srinath, has once again charmed fans on social media with his down-to-earth nature.
