India is a land with millions of cricket fans. Every street might have some people discussing cricket or reminiscing on their favorite players from their childhood. During matches, people will be stuck to a TV or their mobiles, watching it. It doesn’t come as a surprise when non-resident Indians still love the game, following it.  In an old video from 2016 that has resurfaced, Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa were traveling the streets of New York.

The Australian team were touring the West Indies and the United States then, and had traveled to the Big Apple during a break. The duo got into a taxi, which was driven by an Indian. Maxwell had asked the driver if he watched cricket, and the driver confirmed it was his favorite sport.

When asked where the duo were from, the driver spoke highly of the Australian cricket team, but failed to recognize the duo. He called Australia the best team in the world under Ricky Ponting. He further called Maxwell a good player and then realized his passenger was in fact Glenn Maxwell.

He told the duo he intended to take pictures with them after he dropped as well. The driver also added that he used to get excited whenever he came on to bat and the all-rounder joked he was equally disappointed walking back. 

Fans find entire interaction hilarious 

When fans viewed the clip, many fans found the entire interaction hilarious. They said it happens many times that people fail to recognize famous people where they least expect them. In this case it was Maxwell and Zampa in New York City.
