This gives Head Coach Rahul Dravid a much-needed break.

Dravid went scuba diving in the Maldives and even became a certified open water diver with the assistance of a Bengaluru dive company, Fleetfoot Adventures.

'Spent the past few days scuba diving with #RahulDravid and the #FleetfootAdventures team. We're honoured he trusted us -- a local Bangalore dive company with his family's safety. He (and his family) are now certified PADI Open Water Divers,' Nikhil Chinnapa, the VJ and reality show anchor, tweeted about Dravid's experience in the Maldives.

'THE WALL gets submerged! Was fun diving with Rahul Dravid and his family. His attention to detail, keenness to understand the 'why' and 'how' of things being done will one day make him as good a diver as a cricketer which he undoubtedly is,' Nikhil added.
