<p>Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke is 'Pup' no more, he should be now referred to as 'Auto Clarke'.</p>
<p>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.&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img title="Michael Clarke tries his hand at riding an autorickshaw" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2017/mar/Clarke-Auto-Bangalore.jpg" alt="Michael Clarke tries his hand at riding an autorickshaw" /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>Michael Clarke tries his hand at riding an autorickshaw</strong></em></span></p>
<p>Clarke posted the video on social media which read: "Mastered the art of driving the tuk tuk &eth;u00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u009cNice to be back in Bengaluru where it all started &eth;u00c2u009fu00c2u008fu00c2u008f."</p>
<p>Hope he didn't refuse any fares and drive rashly on the streets of Bangalore like many his Indian 'brethren'.</p>
<p>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.&nbsp;Clarke eventually scored 8643 runs in 115 matches at an average of 49.10 in a Test career that ended in 2015.</p>
