Turning back the time once again, India’s highly reputed Rahul Dravid was seen batting with his son Anvay in the Sri Nassur Memorial Shield 3rd Division, a local tournament in Karnataka. The father-son duo played a clutch role for Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur) in a match against Jayanagar Cricketers.

The local club, Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur) got off to a poor start in the first innings after losing both openers cheaply, accumulating just six runs. The No.3 batter also departed after making just one run. Anvay forged a fourth-wicket partnership with his father, Rahul, to steady the innings. The 16-year-old played cautiously, scoring 12 off 46 including a four. The 52-year-old, on the other hand, played ferociously. He scored 29 runs in 28 balls while striking six boundaries. After 17.3 overs, Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur) had put up 55-3 with the Dravids unbeaten on the crease.
The father-son duo played together earlier in the tournament as well. Batting against Young Lions Club, Vijaya Cricket Club (Malur) scored 345-7 in 50 overs. In his usual position of No.4, Anvay put up a vital 60-ball 58. Rahul could contribute with just 10 runs. Swapnil Yelave was the top-scorer with a dashing 107 off 50 balls. The team went on to win that match by 24 runs.
