He may be 52 years old, but former India coach Rahul Dravid has shown that his love for playing the sport hasn’t diminished a bit, teaming up with his younger son Anvay (16) in a Sri Nassur Memorial Shield 3rd division game.
Playing for Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur), their team was put into bat after losing the toss against Young Lions Club and scored 345-7 in 50 overs.
Anvay scoring fiery 58 off 60 balls while Dravid sr only managed 10 runs off eight balls.
Swapnil Yelave scored 107 to give his team a fighting total.
Surely Dravid’s presence in the dressing room is bound to motivate the youngsters in the team.
Both Dravid’s sons have taken up to their father and are flourishing in their game.
Anvay, a wicketkeeper-batsman like his father, was the top run-getter in the Vijay Merchant Trophy 2023-24 for the state. He made 357 runs from five matches at an average of 45 with four fifties in the under-16 tournament. He was also the highest run-scorer in the under-14 state league tournament while playing for Vijaya Cricket Club.

Anvay’s elder brother, Samit, also represented Karnataka successfully in age-group tournaments for Karnataka over the years.
In September last year, Samit was named in the India Under-19 team for a series against Australia U19 at home. He, however, could not feature throughout the series after suffering a knee injury.
Like Anvay, Samit too has been among the runs and wickets. In the Cooch Behar Trophy last year, he made 362 runs and took 16 wickets in eight matches during Karnataka’s title-winning campaign.
