Watch Video: Michael Clarke turns autorickshaw driver in Bangalore

Michael Clarke

Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke is 'Pup' no more, he should be now referred to as 'Auto Clarke'.

The 35-year-old who is in India as a commentator for the India-Australia Test series has taken advantage of the long gap between the 1st and 2nd matches to enjoy himself and explore a new aspect of India.

With the Australian team thrashing India by 333 runs at Pune to win the first Test within three days, the commentary team had a lot of free time in hand and Clarke has taken that leisure time to learn to ride an auto rickshaw on Indian roads.

Clarke posted the video on social media which read: "Mastered the art of driving the tuk tuk ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u009cNice to be back in Bengaluru where it all started ðu00c2u009fu00c2u008fu00c2u008f."

Hope he didn't refuse any fares and drive rashly on the streets of Bangalore like many his Indian 'brethren'.

It was in Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy stadium that Clarke's international debut took place in 2004. In his debut Test, Clarke began his international innings with a bang, hitting a brilliant 151 in the first innings against a bowling attack that comprised the likes of Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh. Australia went on to win the match by 217 runs. Clarke eventually scored 8643 runs in 115 matches at an average of 49.10 in a Test career that ended in 2015.
