Hi @dhanujsirohi, thanks for reporting the issue!

docker info --format was introduced in 1.13.0, it appears that you are using an older version of Docker,

Could you upgrade your docker engine to version 18.09 or later and try minikube again? https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/docker/

Thanks!

Hi @dhanujsirohi, we haven't heard back from you, do you still have this issue?
There isn't enough information in this issue to make it actionable, and a long enough duration has passed, so this issue is likely difficult to replicate.

I will close this issue for now but feel free to reopen when you feel ready to provide more information.
