A photograph of the former star travelling on the Bengaluru Metro has gone viral on social media, drawing praise for his humble demeanor.

The image shows Srinath, dressed in a sky-blue shirt, denim jeans, and brown leather brogues, standing in a corner of a metro coach with a trolley bag in hand. Unabashedly relaxed, he navigates his journey with grace. Social media users have applauded the cricket legend, with several recalling sighting Srinath around Bengaluru on foot without an entourage.
