Rahul Dravid, the legendary Indian cricketer, recently took to the field with his 16-year-old son Anvay in a club match for Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur) in the Sri Nassur Memorial Shield 3rd Division tournament. This heartwarming moment was a rare occurrence, with the father-son duo playing together in a competitive match.

Anvay, a wicketkeeper-batsman, showcased his skills by scoring a fiery 58 off 60 balls, while Rahul managed to contribute 10 runs off eight balls. The team posted an impressive total of 345-7 in 50 overs, thanks to a century by Swapnil Yelave, who scored 107 runs.

Rahul Dravid's passion for the game remains undiminished, even at 52 years old. His presence on the field was a testament to his love for cricket, and his desire to share the experience with his son. Anvay, who has been making waves in the cricketing world, was the top run-getter in the Vijay Merchant Trophy 2023-24 for Karnataka, scoring 357 runs from five matches.

The next generation of 'Dravid' in good hands

This is not the first time Anvay has made headlines. In 2020, he scored 90 in the semi-final of the BTR Shield Under-14 Group I. His elder brother, Samit, has also played age-group cricket for Karnataka Under-14s and has made a name for himself with two double tons in the 2019/20 season.

The Dravid family's love for cricket is evident, and it's clear that the next generation is following in their father's footsteps. As Anvay continues to make a name for himself in the cricketing world, one can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement for what the future holds.
